I am still using military surplus materials, but have also started working with waxed canvas. This material is ideal for bags because it is durable, water resistant, and develops a patina similar to leather with use. I love sewing with it too, it's such a treat after sewing with the surplus materials.
It is not a recycled material, but it is produced by a company in the U.S. that has been producing this fabric since the early 1900s, uses food quality waxes, and cares about the integrity of their product.
I thought I'd try to do a welcome back giveaway to get back into the swing of things. Up for grabs is a choice of one of the updated Quince pouches, either in waxed canvas or wool.

I adore and always get compliments on my jack and marjorie bags. I have three: a Madeleine, an Aunt Sally and a clutch. Looking forward to continuing to build my collection.
Wishing you continued success.

I love my Madeleine bag! I will go like your facebook page.
Glad to hear you're back and loving the new collection with waxed canvas! It's a beautiful material with such personality!
Just in case I'm lucky enough to win, I'll be the Cecily on your FaceBook page.
I still use my Military bag and people who recognize good quality & craftsmanship asked me "where did you get it??" Good thing your name tag is still hanging in! Glad too to have received your recent email.. I always forget to look up what you have been up to since I bought my bag in November 2010 at the "One of a kind" show in Toronto.
I love your purses and get compliments all the time.
Looking at your new products, I immediately thought: "Christmas gift for myself" :)
Beautiful work! So exciting to see more of your amazing designs. The waxed canvas sounds fun. :-)

Great use of surplus military material! The heavy wools are so durable.
I'm addicted to Jack & Marjorie. Contemplating the Hamilton bag as the sixth piece to add to my collection. Thank you so much for the beautiful bags Meghan!
I am such a fan of your bags... the two I have are always the perfect accompaniment. I love the styles you create, the materials you use, AND the fact that creative human hands actually make them :)
When your email came last week I immediately thought too 'Christmas gift for myself' and...it arrived yesterday :)
Thanks Meghan!
I would love to win one:)
Thank you! I have already liked your facebook page too!:)
Love all my Jack & Marjorie bags, had them for years and they're still in great condition!! Quince pouches are so cute. All of your designs are so creative and gorgeous! :)
I am in awe of your pure talent. I love your designs, they are classic and beautiful!
Love love love your bags! The clasp pouches are wonderful:-)Are they the size of a change purse or a purse? It's hard to tell from the photo.
Sydney, thanks! The clasp pouches are pretty small, so more the size of a large change purse (it easily fits a cell phone).
Thank you everyone for your incredibly kind comments!
I have been coveting your bags for years!
