Two More
Can you believe summer is almost over? In just a little more than two weeks my two little babies (2.5 and 4yrs) will be starting preschool. I don’t know of anything that can be more sad, yet more exciting at the same time. What in the world will I do with all that time??? (hahahaha). Actually, it’s only 3 hours a day, and their school is a little more than a 30 minute drive, so I doubt I’ll be spending much of that time at home. Which is a shame, because I really need to paint my bedroom wall one color. I was thinking about yellow, hence the two tones, but I think I’m going to go in a completely new direction all together. We’ll see.
I’m still turning out bags as quickly as I can. Each bag comes with a new skill to learn, so sometimes they take a while.
For example, it took me one whole evening to figure out how to install a zippered pocket in the lining. I read tutorial after tutorial, but it took me doing a hacked-up practice run on some scrap fabric to finally figure it out. But…I lurrrve the finished product!
Details:
Green bag: I used Made By Rae’s free buttercup bag pattern. Outer fabric is a home dec weight thrift store find, inner is something from the remnant bin at JoAnn’s.
Purple bag: Basic pattern from a Japanese bag book (pics to follow in the coming days). Outer is Echino “bird to hang” cotton/linen blend, inner is Momo’s Freebird Eggs in grape.
I’ve got two more bags waiting in line, but I’ll probably have to put them on hold until next weekend, unless I can sneak in some time between all of the busy-ness we’ve got going on this week. Isn’t summer supposed to be laid back?…Looking forward to Fall for things to slow down a bit.
Take care folks…I’ll see ya soon!
