Teddyrboston Bags

Copper Oatmeal Kindle Bag
During a recent downsizing frenzy, Kathy discovered boxes of fabric and yarn and other boxes of sweaters she had knitted when her children
were small. She was looking for a home for them when she was gifted a Kindle. Right away, she found a need for a graceful way to carry the ebook to her book group. As she tells her students - try smoosching two needs together and find a solution - which she did. She is now excited about developing all kinds of bags using found materials as well as unique embellishments.
