Like my new bag? I MADE IT! I know - I am a little shocked myself. I have had my sewing machine set up for weeks and have avoided making any eye contact with it. Sewing is one of those things I know I should do, and know how to do, but I figured there would be a lot of work involved in re-learning, so I put it off. Well the other night I saw
this tutorial to make a reversible bag, and thought I would take it on. (Wine may have been involved.)
Oh yeah - did you catch that? - it reversible!
I am ridiculously proud of myself. Only at the end did I discover that I had the machine threaded wrong, which would explain the 50 times the thread broke or came out of the needle. But sometimes being a stubborn Taurus comes in handy. :) Anyway, it is a great bag, and a great tutorial, and as long as you aren't sewing challenged like moi it would be a fast and easy project! It is
here, and can also be found on
this great list of Mothers Day project ideas.
you are such a closet crafty!! I'm super impressed!
ReplyDeleteFantastic - and good for you! You should open shop on Etsy. The next ones would go very quickly now that you have your machine threading figured out. I might even make myself one for summer.
ReplyDeleteYou should be proud! You did a great job. And btw when is your birthday? You mentioned being a Taurus.
ReplyDelete19th! Are you a Taurus too?
ReplyDeleteThanks on the bag Deanna - it was a learning experience for sure - my next one will be even better!
