I'm Krystal of Solsisters. When I was a kid, my mom made a lot of tied quilts and lots of our clothes. Once she made a pair of underwear for my younger brother that had a blazing sunset right across the bum! So when I got older, of course, I learned to sew, too. I used to make a lot of quilts, although in the last two years, it's been much stronger with handbags. I use a lot of the techniques I used to put into quilts in my bags. They just get finished so much faster and make a wonderful SMALL canvas to try new things on! I love bright colors and unusal patterns. I make up a lot of patterns for my bags and use as much handmade fabric as I can. Every handbag I make is unique, although I do sometimes make multiples of the smaller accessories.
