Yes, I am still here!
Just a little bit of sewing going on around here, and even less to show for. I do have a handful of WIPs, though.
Last Saturday I had my dear friend Angie over for a night of sewing fun. And fun it was. We chatted and sewed for close to five hours. We both decided to make a new bag. Angie conquered the Fatquarter Tote from
Cicada Daydream and I worked on
this pretty bag from
U-handbag.
It's a very straight forward pattern and comes together quickly. I used the
Calliope print from Braemore. I have been wanting to make a bag from this fabric for close to two years now and finally broke down to buy the fabric. I have plenty left over to make
this purse by Amy Butler and work out a pattern for a cover for my new
Nook.
The only changes I made to the original pattern for this tote are the handles, a shabby flower on the front and a big pocket on the inside. The bag is big enough to hold my laptop and wallet, etc. So, it's my new take-to-work-bag.
I am also working on a couple of "patriotic" dresses for the girls and have to finish a taggy blanket for a Baby shower I am going to this weekend.
Hope to be back soon to show some finished work.
