NOTICE: The Bag Lady will be temporarily unable to complete any new orders after July 24th, 2011, due to a renovation project planned for my house. During that time, orders will still be accepted, but there can be no guarantee as to when they will be filled. After construction, orders will be filled in the order they were received and depending on the number of orders, it could take a while to get caught up again.
If you need something in a hurry, I apologize for not being able to meet your needs during this down time.
All orders received after July 24th, 2011, will be added to the order queue. I anticipate a 5 month span before the dust settles and I can start sewing again. 25/07/2011-

Bag Lady News & Updates:
9/25/11 - Bag Lady still down... My house is still in a state of complete disarray. The contractor's work was stalled by some delays on getting materials and the interior finishing work that I am doing on my own is going VERY, VERY slowly. I am limited on space, especially the large flat surface I need to roll out fabric.
Orders can still be placed during construction, if you aren't in a rush, and they will be completed in the order received when sewing starts up again.
I apologize that things have taken far longer than expected. At the rate things are going, it may be another few months before I can get things to a point where I have enough room to really get back to sewing again.
About the Bag Lady...
All standard bags are made of a durable cotton duck cloth (similar to canvas) available in a variety of colors. There is also an optional vinyl material available. This is a very high quality material that really simulates the look and feel of leather.
Thanks for stopping by!
Robyn, aka The Bag Lady
A Little Bag Lady History...The Bag Lady got started back in early 2004, when after not really doing any machine sewing since junior high school, I decided to make a bag to hold the compact spare tire for my 2003 MINI Cooper S. Feeling pretty happy with how the bag turned out, I posted a picture of it on NorthAmericanMotoring.com, then known as MINICooperOnline.com. The response was amazing and quite surprising. I set up a very basic website to start accepting orders. Most of the bag options you see on the site now are the result of requests from previous customers. Their orders turned out so nicely that I decided to add their requests as options.
The full-size bags, travel bags, cargo liners, and rear seat lifting straps quickly followed, again from my need/desire to outfit my own MINI. They quickly became customer favorites as well.
MINI owners were pretty much my exclusive customers for several years. However, with the launch of the Smart car in North Amercia, Smart owners have now become my second largest group of customers.
As more new cars are sold with only run-flat tires, and no spare, owners of additional marques have begun to visit the site. Those opting to get rid of their run-flats, who want the added security of a spare tire, have been ordering from the site with increasing frequency. Welcome to you all.
In an effort to expand my ability to do lettering on bag orders, I added a Pfaff embroidery machine in 2008. This opened up a new range of offerings... custom embroidered clothing, along with the ability to embroider more elaborate designs on my bags too.
