- Hi. I am Rand Kuenzi I’m a Swiss-Norwegian Fabrication Enthusiast, Crafter, and Un-Documented Engineer. US Air Force Veteran, Husband, Father, and Crusader for Truth. I grew up on a Dairy Farm near New Glarus, Wisconsin and was surrounded by crafty people. My Mom and Grandmom sewed often as a way of either gifting, self expression, or pinching pennies.

Soft-Side, Firm Bottom (Mini) Travel Totes
I had the privilege of teaching/mentoring a Soft-Side, Firm Bottom Shaving Kits or Cosmetic Case Class this past Saturday at Jerry's Sewing shop in Janesville, Wisconsin. Thanks to the Ladies at Jerry's for their hospitality and preparation for the event. All attendees went home with beautiful, stylish, and unique projects.
Styles for Soft-Side, Firm Bottom Travel Totes are almost limitless. Here are a few examples. I even wrote instructions for this project.

Kuenzi Fab Firm Bottom PET SCREEN Totes
I took an instructional class at Jerry's Sewing shop in Janesville, Wisconsin one Saturday morning a few weeks ago. Result of that class was a new twist on my very own design--"Firm Bottom Totes"--"Firm Bottom Pet Screen Totes." Enjoy a few pictures of my new projects--all spoken for so you would have to send me an order. :o)

Girls Just Want to Have FUN--Fun Totes, That Is!
Our College-Age Daughter had just one request as she headed back to school this year. Conversation went something like this.
"Dad. Can you make me a very cool Duffel? I have all the material."
"Sure, Youngin. What did you have in mind?"
"How about Poka Dots on the Outside and the USAF material on the inside?"
"Uh, Well, that won't exactly match, ya know but if that's what you want, I will make it."
"That's what I want, Dad."
Nice to have it done and it turned out much better than I anticipated with the minimal amount of material. You might see I got a little creative with the handles and the side panels to make sure I had enough.

US Army Class B Tote
All I have to say is, "Wow. I am amazed at how well this US Army "Class B" Duffel turned out!" What do you think?
Crazy Busy Lately!
Man, Have I missed being online to keep you up to date with cool projects. That's what happens when retirement planning and organizational move overlap at the SAME EXACT TIME. Whew! Things are nuts around here.

Brand New! US Army Enlisted Heritage Duffle Tote
I made this US Army Duffle Tote for my friend, Ed, who also gave me an extra uniform in a trade. I am sure he'll love this bag more than the uniform he used to wear. The coolest features of this bag are the reused pockets, zipper, rank, and name tag. What do you think? Got a Military Uniform you would like to wear on your shoulder since you no longer wear it for work? Let me know.

Spacious Zippered Shoulder Totes!
Man, I DO love this spacious zippered shoulder-strapped tote style. Lined completely inside with the classic Kuenzi Fab "Firm Bottom" feature. Six and Eight pocket options on the outside makes me (or my girls) want to KEEP EACH AND EVERY ONE of them but we will sell them nonetheless...as long as I also make a similar tote for each of my ladies. Just enough cool points in each of these bags to be super glad to own one but also seriously thrilled knowing you are the ONLY one with one JUST LIKE YOURS as they are all made slightly different. You also might be able to see a couple pen/pencil slots on a couple designs.
