Brown-bagging it with style





.

This is taking " brown-bagging it " to a whole new level !



with Ralph Lauren's Cliffony sheer drapery fabric 
and Kravet trim samples




This is what you will need

lunch bag. .scrap fabric...misc. trims ..plastic lid.. glue . sewing supplies



and time on your hands!
( or you are put on hold for several hours while your DSL service tries to resolve ongoing issues
and you happen to have these samples and remnants from client's files cluttering your desk )


. . . five months later . . .

I am happy to share it in this treasure trove of fun and inspiration

Somerset Life Magazine



with some fellow creatives.





Thank you to all involved at Stampington and Company

for giving each of us the opportunity

to inspire, delight, teach, encourage and be a blessing !!!
