<p>I made this elephant bag this weekend! It was a custom order for Suzy, who knew exactly what she was looking for!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Suzy liked our classic elephant print, but wanted her tote to be a  little different. We were able to make her a custom elephant patch, and  mix up a custom paint color to match the dusty rose lining of this super  cute tote.<img class="aligncenter" src="https://www.cherryredboutique.com/item_images/CT22_1.jpg" alt="" /><br />

<p>Right on the heels of our last custom baby bag for <a href="http://www.cherryredboutique.com/item.php?item_id=518&#038;category_id=27">Rachel</a>, Steph (our awesome <a href="http://www.cherryredboutique.com/content.php?content_id=2">graphic designer</a>) asked us if we would create a baby bag for her. </p>
<p>We had been throwing around some unicorn designs (for some soon-to-be-posted necklaces!!) and she got the idea for a bag with a GLITTER unicorn on it. She drew up a sketch and designed her print, as I scoured the internet for products that would allow me to glitter up my screen prints. A few pattern designs later, this baby was born! This is probably the most complex bag I have ever made, and I couldn&#8217;t be happier with how it turned out:</p>
<p><center><br />
<a href="http://www.cherryredboutique.com/item.php?item_id=523&#038;category_id=27"><img src="https://www.cherryredboutique.com/item_images/CT20_1B.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #AD948A;"/>  </a><br />
Look at that magnificent sparkly unicorn! </p>
<p><a href="http://www.cherryredboutique.com/item.php?item_id=523&#038;category_id=27"><img src="https://www.cherryredboutique.com/item_images/CT20_1A.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #AD948A;"/></a><br />
</center></p>
<p>It features:</p>
<li>three pockets on the outside w/buttons</li>
<li>two pockets on the inside</li>
<li>a partition dividing the inside of the bag into two parts</li>
<li>long adjustable straps, so it can be worn as a purse, or a messenger style bag</li>
<li>a magnetic snap closure</li>
<li>three fabric covered one inch buttons that match the (super cute) lining of the bag</li>
<p>*phew* A lot of the features were first times for me &#8211; like the partition and the magnetic snap closure, so I took things really slow. It took me a while to put the whole thing together, but it was totally worth it!! I was/am so happy with how it turned out, I found myself having a hard time sending it off to Steph! I hope her (and her soon to be born baby) love it as much as I do! <3</p>
<p>What do you guys think? Do you guys love unicorns as much as Steph and I?</p>

<p>ACK! I&#8217;ve been so bad at posting to this blog. Life has been busy lately, and blogging has fallen to the bottom of my to-do list. </p>
<p>I have a lot in my Cherry Red hopper at the moment, and I&#8217;ve been so focused on creating new things, that I haven&#8217;t been keeping you all in the loop <img src='http://www.cherryredboutique.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I made this custom tote for my old friend Rachel (seriously, I went to elementary school with her!) who is expecting her first baby at the end of June (OMG!) and wanted a baby bag to match her adorable stoller. </p>
<p>This bag is up there among my favorite custom creations of all time:</p>
<p><center><br />
<a href="http://www.cherryredboutique.com/item.php?item_id=518&#038;category_id=27"><img src="http://images22.fotki.com/v835/photos/1/103039/7011269/CT19_1-vi.jpg" border="0"></a><br />
I created the leafy pattern, screen printed it onto the fabric (in three custom mixed colors), and made some extra buttons out of some of the fabric scraps. I also reinforced the bottom, but I forgot to take a picture <img src='http://www.cherryredboutique.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  The teal straps were a PERFECT match for the polka dotted teal lining fabric, I really couldn&#8217;t have been more perfect! </p>

</center></p>
<p>Congrats Rachel! I hope you (and your baby) love your new tote!</p>
