John recently built a “photo box” (not sure what to call it) for photography my items for my Etsy shop (TextilesandSmiles) and for photographing items for his Etsy shop (to be opened someday and hopefully called MightyMoeCreations). He designed it so it could be easily assembled and dissembled for storage.
I finished 3 more drawstring/project bags as part of my “A Year of Finishes – 2023“ project.
The fabric is from my trip to the Missouri Star Quilt Company (MSQC) for a quilting retreat in early 2022. It is their custom fabric which is designed to look like traditional quilt blocks in a quilt. If you’d like to see the posts from my MSQC Retreat adventure here is the link to those 6 posts – Missouri Star Quilt Retreat.

I often considered getting a light box when I was a food blogger! Never did justify the expense to myself though. Yours looks great.

Those look wonderful, too. I like the fabric, and haven’t seen it before. That’s still on my list of places to visit, but the chance hasn’t come yet. =) Great photo booth!

Thanks from John – he really surprised me with his design, I thought he was going to make a large static box and I was wondering where I was going to store it!

Photo booth? Whatever you call it, the set up is perfect, and I imagine it’s also possible to slide in sheets of coloured background if that’s what you want. Gorgeous bags, and until I read up to that point, I was thinking how much the fabric looked like the Missouri Star logo. Mission definitely accomplished there, I think.

Beautiful bags! John is so handy, I bought a photo box and and wish I hadn’t. It is completely enclosed and I didn’t like the lighting. John’s is perfect. I’m no expert Tierney but think about elevating the bags at different levels for a different perspective. They look so beautiful and I love all that color! 💕

Thanks so much! I just randomly found your comment as WP put it in Spam, oops! I saw those completely enclosed ones on Amazon and started to get one but then realized I needed an opening up top.
I love the idea of elevating the bags at different levels – awesome suggestion 🙂

Nice photo box! This type set-up was recommended in a class on photographing your crafts that I took years ago, but I’ve never done it. Glad you have 😀
