In the words of Oprah...

I think I heard Oprah once say, "Love is in the details". 

So true!

I hope that once you buy a Daylin Skye Designs handbag, you never see anything but the outside of your bag. However, if you were to take a peek in between the seams, this is part of what you would see.

The photo above is the lining that went into the Neecy Bag. The see-thru is the interfacing which after it is applied to the fabric is then all serged so there aren't any fraying edges. Then it is sewn once, checked for fitting and sewn again for quality assurance and my own peace of mind. (Congratulations again, mi amiga, Amy Parnell, who won the Neecy bag just by sharing a photo!)

Although I don't work from a pattern (that part is just in my head), the quality process on the bags are all pretty much the same. I follow the contractor adage my Dad instilled in me, measure twice - cut once! When it comes to the sewing process, I want to make sure I'm putting a product together for you that won't fall apart on you! I test most things out on myself first. I'm pretty hard on bags, so they get slung over my shoulder, thrown onto the seat of the car, or buried in a shopping cart under miscellaneous items from my latest trip to the local hardware store. By trial and error, I've discovered which straps and attachments work best under constant stress. The key points and places I need to triple reinforce and backstitch to ensure durability. So if you decided to load up your Daylin Skye Designs bag with, books, a laptop, groceries, a pair of high heels, water bottles, file folders, a hammer or your dog (yes, all things I've put in my bag!), then the seams and linings and straps are all going to hold fast. 

100% Made in the USA, hand crafted and designed by me.

Yes... "Love is in the details".
