My one hour time limit on sewing continues and tonight is all about the straps and tabs for the sack bags. Lots of turning inside-out, pressing, pressing again, scorched fingertips and top stitching.
I love the surprise of each new colour and fabric as it gets it's turn under the needle.
I thought I might get to sneak in a little more time to pin the straps and tabs to the outer shell tonight. But it was a late finish at work and I didn't get home till after 7.30. I'm buggered, and it's going to be another busy day tomorrow, with another early start. Best get some sleep.
See more creative, happy spaces over at Kootoyoo.
I'm always amased at the fabulous fabrics you seem to find. :)

So sweet. Such little things in life like straps yet they provide so much beauty and joy. Isn't it wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love the top stitching - you're so neat? Any tricks or tips???
I like your one hour rule too, but because I've got the attention span of a gnat, I use a 30 minute rule. It's amazing how much you can get done when the clock's ticking!
