I Make Things in Moreton Bay

26/03/2026

Something I’ve been making lately in my spare time.

Or to be more accurate…

Something I make when I’m binge watching TV and want to avoid stuffing my face.

Wish me luck.

I’ve made this style of bag before but never with Kangaroo Leather and definitely not without many learning mistakes.

I have no idea how my sewing machine is going to react.

Zippers scare the bejesus out of me.

Not to mention I’m gonna have to wing how to make the shoulder strap because the pattern is for fabric and it doesn’t suit a leather bag strap.

To top it all off apparently the only way I can see these days it to take a pic and blow it up!!!

Did I mention wish me luck!

Hi All,

I’ve been quietly super busy lately.

A couple weeks ago I posted about heading out to peddle my wares…

I’m super excited to say that in doing so, a local businesses - Red Poppy Art Collective - on the Redcliffe Waterfront /Tourist strip has gratuitously offer to sell my Kangaroo Leather and Jasper earrings.

Today, I excitedly dropped them off.

I’ve never done anything like this before. Fingers crossed. Wish me luck!

Until next post - xx Amanda
