I found my sewing space and I finished something!!

I am so excited, after no finishes in July, I managed to pull off 3 in August.

I found my sewing space from moving house (well enough space to be constructive) and I have been sewing like a storm.

These overnight bags have been waiting patiently since about October last year.

Funky, bright Roosters

 Great spots on a teal colour

 Te reverse of the spots, some flowers.

 and the 3 together.

It feels great to have a few finishes under my belt.

Catch you all next month.  I hope to have a few more then.

A finish for July

I’ve been battling it out on my sewing machine this week, working on one of my long-standing UFO’s that I just kept postponing for fear of messing up.  (do you do that too….or is it just a ‘me’ thing???)  

Finally, finally, finally……this li’l baby has made it past the finish line…….

It’s my Market Baguette Bag…a Cinderberry Stitches design by Natalie Lymer and I just love it!   I made a couple of modifications…..magnetic clasps instead of the ties, as I know how frustrated I would become if I had to tie and untie them every time I went into my bag….and they work a treat!

And I also stitched some vertical ‘fold’ lines into the sides, so they folded inwards rather than gaped out as I carried it around.

these little birdies are just so ‘tweet’!!!!! 

It’s now my ‘go to’ bag when I hit the shops…..and I continue to ask myself…….why oh why did it take me soooo long to finish it!?!

Off to look for more of those ‘scary’ UFOs to get to the finish line!!!  How about you????? 

Sugary hugs :O)

Just in time for April..

A quick post to share a finish for the month..I have been busy making new things...and then as the end of the month was looming I had to look for something to finish off for the month.. I found this bag..with  pins marking where some hand stitching needed to be done, and now here it is all done.

Oh dear it had been waiting for about 3 years or so for the finishing touches...sadly, some times, out of sight means out of mind!!
