We've been away on holiday to Lanzarote and that, combined with the pre-break manic rush at work, meant I've sewn very Iittle this month. I have big plans but I've had very little time. I'm pretty hopeful of getting some non-working days during October - I will start ticking stuff off my list!

| I love this lining fabric, I bought it in the Isle of Wight when we were away in the summer |
 |
| The fabric I used for the pockets was a purchase from Tokyo last year - I had a super time adding bits and bobs to the print to make it 3D. I have plenty left to make something else. |
 |
| And I had enough bits and bobs cut out to make a second version for me! |

| With the remnants of my Harry Potter Cape lining to finish it off |
As much as I love this pattern, I think I'm done with the Craftsy bags for a little while. There are dresses I want to sew, 2 quilts to finish, dressing gowns promised to Paul and my brother ... it's quite a 'To Do' list. Oh, and the Dress A Girl Around The World project to crack on with. I really need to get a move on!

I think you have done amazingly well - I read your earlier post about your work frustrations :). These bags are just super terrific - I love bucket bags, and you have done such a nice job on these.
ReplyDeleteThank you - the Craftsy instructions are very clear, I'm impressed with the free class. I've tweaked them a bit (to work with the materials I have) but I think they're a great beginner project. :)
DeleteI hope you had a lovely relaxing holiday. I appear to have been in a similar position to you in September and didn't get much sewing done. Here's to a more productive October!
ReplyDeleteBut you made one very beautiful dress Sam - quality over quantity :) That said, I'm hoping to get more done in October too :)
