Am I getting too detailed with an insert? Maybe. XD But I just got my Carnival Kitties swag from SchmidtGoods and I thought they deserved a big top to hang out in. Bonus, the top flap will be great to tuck charm hooks under.

I do really like this bag but, if I could, there are two changes I’d make. The first is the opening for the display window; I’d love it if there were just a few more closures on it so that it could open up a little wider—the web shape was a big draw for me, but it does make it a little fiddly to get the insert in and out. The second is that the design is actually on the window instead of the insert; it ends up overlapping at least a little on most pins. I can make it work, but I wish I didn’t have to.

Carrying a tube to keep your art prints safe at a convention is a great idea that I got from another con-goer ages ago, and she had hers decorated nicely too. I only ended up doing it once or twice before, since I had to stop buying art for a while. But now that I’m back to it, I thought bringing back the tube was the way to go, but that it could use some improvements. So I gave it a little paint, and a nice fabric cover—plus a crossbody strap to make carrying it easier. I’m really happy with how it came out!

LittleSofts is a wonderful artist that has so many great products—I really admire that, even when it comes to plush, they try to design them so that they can perform a function too (other than being adorable). Their Snug-Along backpack line is great—cute, a great snuggle, and enough room inside to actually carry day-to-day things. London Fog the Raven was from the second line but there are so many great choices!

I hope folks will be able to get them through their shop once it reopens. :D

I am absolutely a Nightmare Before Christmas girlie, especially when it comes to Jack and Sally. I fell in love with this bag (and matching wallet) on sight, and I’m thrilled to be able to take it to a TNBC event soon!

The silver 'stitches' were hand-embroidered, and the back patch hand-sewn on--I was so happy to find someone offering a blue phoenix when I went looking. The cuffs and the text were painted. To do the latter I created stencils based on the handwriting of Dabi's English voice actor, Jason Liebrecht. I'm really happy with how it all came out!

This Toothless has to be one of the cutest ita bags I’ve seen! You can leave the tail down for max-cuteness or, if that makes you nervous, you can swivel it up so it rests against your back. The insert is noticeably smaller than the display window at the top, but that’s pretty much the only downside and it’s easy to work around. :D

All in all, a nice end result for a royalty-inspired cosplay I was putting together. ^~^

I didn’t originally intend for this entire bag to be Mythmore pins, but I love how it came out! Just a few fillers and it should be complete. :D

Death Petal, formerly Celestial Fox, has made some of my favorite bags, and this new ita tote is no exception! It comes in four color ways and two sizes; I went with the large. The actual ita display is on the smaller side but the bag is super roomy, with a ton of pockets, and comes with a strap to make it a crossbody. It’s become my go-to “taking projects on the go” bag, would absolutely recommend! :D
