I took 3 days off at the beginning of the week to visit some great friends. They even took me to a great quilting shop and I bought more "souveniers" (That's what you call fabric pieces you purchase when you are away from home.)
I have been sewing since I got home because I got behind on some orders and now a couple more orders have come in. I think that makes me even "more behinder". I completed a bag that I was a tester for but I can't show that to you until June. Trust me, it is a great shaped bag that I think you will love.
I also completed a wallet for my sister. She picked out some upholstery fabric that I had and decided she wanted a Necessary Wallet by Janelle at Emmaline Bags but because the print is so large, she did not want the raised trim around the front. She also wanted a thumb latch instead of a turn lock. I was excited by that because I have been wanting to do one like that. I included the wristlet strap and the shoulder strap.
I'll give it to her when I see her on Easter. Did I tell you that I sewed it on my new.....wait for it.......
semi-industrial sewing machine!! I'll post about it this coming week but I feel like I am starting to get used to it already.
Marilyn that's a beautiful wallet. I tested the June bag too, so I am looking forward to seeing the fabrics that you chose for yours. I love the one I made. I will be interested to see your posting about your new machine too, since I have practically the same one.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Daryl. The June bag was involved with a lot of new ways to add parts. I like my bag even more than I liked the pattern to begin with. It will be fun to see everyone's choice in fabric. Bags can look so different depending on the fabric.
DeleteWhat great fabrics! It looks very elegant! Enjoy your new sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Norma. I blame Daryl for my new machine (Thank you Daryl!)
DeleteDo you want another sister LOLL. It's beautiful. I love the calm colours especially the paisley on the inside. Your situation sounds alot like mine, orders to make and more coming in. Can't grumble though, it's all extra fabric money.
ReplyDeleteI would never complain about having extra fabric money!!! The only thing I hate is telling people that they have to wait. You have been very busy doing a lot of extra things, too.
