Hello & Welcome!
I hope each and every one of you were able to have the best Christmas holiday available to you this year. Ours was quite stressful at times but fortunately for us, not ALL of the time and we're grateful for that.
And with a New Year approaching we're certainly also grateful for all of YOU who have made it possible for us to enjoy another year in business, so with that, I hope you enjoy 2022's last installment of "Bag Making is FUN".

"Eye Candy" for January 2023

So let's kick off the New Year with a fresh batch of amazing "Eye Candy". We didnt receive a lot of pictures this month... I guess everyone was busy doing other things besides sewing... (I know I was too!) But if you've got an SKD bag you'd like to show off, it's a sure bet that we want to SEE it! Just send your jpg images to info@studiokatdesigns.com. or better still, post them on our "Sewing Group Page on FaceBook" to get some "Instant applause"!
ALL of the bags pictured below have been shared recently on

If your cat is an indoor/outdoor pet, he likely loves to pop outside even when the temperatures drop. There are plenty of cold-weather cats who have thick coats and seem to do well outdoors in the winter, but it’s important to consider your cat’s comfort and safety too. {Click HERE to read more}

ANNOUNCING! A CloseOut Zipper Sale! |
 |
|
No, we're not getting rid of "gold" as an option in our zipper line, but we ARE making a slight modification in the shade of gold we'll use going forward! (you can see the difference at left... the old shade is pictured on the RIGHT and the new shade is pictured at LEFT) And that means two things...
1) We need do some
SERIOUS clearing OUT! and
2) there's some serious savings to be had for YOU!
So while they last you can now pick up as many as you like (in the old shade of gold ONLY) by clicking HERE But don't delay, when they're gone, they're GONE!
