A sewing afternoon.........

My friend Dianne, is very crafty and makes lovely bags, the two pictures above are ones that she made. So with that in mind, I decided to try another bag this afternoon, using some more of my freebies from Freecycle.

Here's the result..............

I'm chuffed to bits with this one!

Sewing skills are improving, however it will be a while before I'm up to the standard of Dianne and her bags!!


The basic bag design came from "I made it myself", by Eithne Farry. The book is really easy to follow and has some fantastic designs, not just for bags, but for clothing as well. I'd recommend it to anyone who is just starting, like me, to venture into the world of sewing.

I'm still cutting squares for my quilt, though I haven't cut any since Monday night as I sliced the back of my hand with the rotary cutter, ooooops!!

Off now for a very large G&T and enjoy the rest of the evening.
