Next up was a blue bag using up a few bits I have left over from a dress I made for a Minerva post, a few pieces of canvas only big enough for strips and some former duvet cover lining. The faux leather I still have a bit left of that. There was also a bit of experimenting here making a bird keyring to go with the fabric.
I had a nice walk and a cup of tea at a café today with my friend, I also showed her where the local fabric shop is as she wanted me to make her some tops. Of course I couldn't come out empty handed and bought a gorgeous piece for me, it is now blowing on the line. I thought I would wash it immediately to save me prematurely sewing it up later unwashed and regretting it.
Sense and Sensibility is finished and I didn't think much of it, if you are going to read any of the Austin project novels don't choose that one or maybe just stick to the original as the modern day character versions were far too tedious.
The garden is beginning to look tired, though I have to say the flowers have had a really good run. There are just a few things still to open and they were planted quite late, the rest needs a good sort through now.
Well that's all for today.

Your bags are fantastic! I only read the originals. I watched the first episode of Sanditon and was a bit um and ah. Best, Jane x
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented. I also think you are very generous, making tops and doing alterations for so many others - whether it is curtains or clothes you always seem to have some unselfish sewing on the go!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely I especially like the orla kiely fabric.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bags and I know how you feel about social media! I also hate taking photos (as mine are rubbish) so I tend just to sew and not post.... I love seeing other people's creations though and yours are especially lovely!
