Some Sewing Fun
I’ve been sneaking some time at the sewing machine these last few weeks. Not to do something sensible like finish my dress but to start sewing notions bags. I have a few shapes in mind but I have started with my first shape, a rectangle.
I made my first prototype and I was hooked. A friend who also does quilting then brought me to her favorite fabric store. I want to say I was completely reasonable and restrained, but that would be a lie. Once a stasher always a stasher. So with all my purchases the only sensible thing to do was, cut fabric and make more bags.
Here you can see some of the fabrics I made off with in my one visit to the shop. I started sewing and was having a great time. I finished four bags this round. A couple have some oddities in them but I think I am on track for a Sept/Oct release date in the shop.
The bags are about 4″x3″ and can hold the usual notions, pretty easily. And as you can see from my fabric selection, Halloween and geekery will be well represented this first round.
