A little Bag.

Well more sewing yesterday - all with a sick little girl at home. Although she was happy once we whipped up a skirt for her with some fabirc she chose from SL. It wasn't very good, being my first attempt at a skirt, and not using a pattern. I made soem VERY obvious mistakes, but thats ok. She loves it and that is all that maters. It's just a play skirt anyway. ave found some nice easy tutorials so will have a go at another one maybe tomorrow for her.

I did put together one of the bags that was on my WIP list. I am just now trying to decide whether to give it as a b'day pressie on Thursday or make another for her. I found this gorgeous black fabric with small red and gold flowers on it which would make a divine bag, so might whip that up tonight and then decide.



This was the first bag i have attempted that has soemthing other than fabric handles. I was pleased, although had some difficulty trying to sew with the handle in place. This one was made easier by the fact i could take the handles off as they just hook in to the fabric loops, but i think for my next one i will just make the fabric loops a little longer to make it easier to sew.

I also have to put a satchel together for the same bday on thursday. Thursday then means i have 12 months to complete the special Quilt for my bestie for her 35th. I am going to try and hand quilt it too, so I plan to peice it as soon as MIL's quilt is pieced.

Speaking of MIL's quilt. It is finally cut!! 425 peices!! Wow. That just took so long, as it was hard to get motivated to cut 425 rectangles. I think it will come together nicely and i also managed to get the rows together in piles yesterday. 12 x Row 1 (14 rectangles) and 12 x Row 2 (15 rectangles). It is the same rnadom pattern that i used for the earlier baby quilts (like Molly and Jacks) but just in full size. I hope to get it pieced this week as it will take forever to pin and then quilt. I suspect June might come quickly.

OK, off to get ready for work...dropping sick Miss to Dh at lunchtime so I can teach this arvo.
