Work in the Studio :: Recently



Recently, I've been working on a lot of freelance seamstress work and custom orders (a real cool wallet!). This month has been fairly busy with the Free Bird Collection, the opening of my new vintage Etsy shop, Nostalgia of a Bird, and tons of plans to gather with friends and families... not to mention birthdays - mine being tomorrow! I have been wanting to spend more time on the rug bags though and I finally had the chance to finish these two guys that have been doodled into my sketch book. I especially wanted to finish the rug satchel design, but more details later on why I was anticipating that one sometime in the future.

Unfortunately for you (besides two of you), these particular satchel and small zipper pouch are gifts for some blog buddies of mine that wont be up for sale. I will make ones similar to these in the next batch  though. If you'd like to inquire on reserving one or placing a Made to Order, please email me at Alexz {at!} BirdTrouble {dotcom} for turn-around times.

After I post this, I will take change my state of mind and take advantage of my need to take a day off tomorrow from Bird Trouble to enjoy my birthday. I'll be turning 25 years old, which I think is crazy because I swear I was just twenty-one. This year is going to be a good one though. As for my plans, they are a little unknown and off the record so I'll just update you on what happens in a few days once I return!

As always, thanks for reading!

Shop Update // New Bird Trouble bags now available.

Hey guys. I've been a busy girl today. 
But first, have I mentioned that I got a haircut from work {Sine Qua Non Salon in Chicago, IL} by my boss, and owner, Laura and was given some bangin' bangs?


Now onto business. 
This is what the Bird Trouble Etsy shop looks like after a 6 bag shop update. I'm really enjoying the bare white wall in my studio recently, and my new pictures give the shop a fresh look.


Here are the bags that are for sale. I know you're going to love these. Did you know that Bird Trouble bags are on Pinterest? You can add them to your style boards and share with your friends. 

THE FREE BIRD COLLECTION
Handmade bags in four unique styles made from a recycled navy bohemian tapestry. 
Only two of each are able to be made due to the limited supply of textile.

NAVAJO BLANKET BAG
More on the Navajo Bags can be found here
Handmade with a recycled vintage south western style blanket.
Possibly the last bag (unless I have enough hidden material for one more bag). 


RUG SATCHEL
Handmade satchel by transforming a recycled rug to a wearable piece. I'm obsessed with this one.
There will be more made in the near future in a few different designs.
Feel free to email me to inquire about a custom order or pre-ordering. Alexz {!at} BirdTrouble.com
