Goodies

I found some goody mushroom goodness from spotlight today.. and some cute circus fabric.. there was so much yummy stuff that I want but I think maybe I should make to sell some stuff so I can go buy more..haha
STOKED!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Grocery Bag

Grocery bags I think are going to be on my christmas list, I think these are better than the green bags, aside from being more enviro friendly they are space economical too.. :)
Here is a LINK..
And here are some pics....




My pattern piece, next time I think I will use a bigger bag..

WaLah...
Don is starting to call me the bag lady...he aint seen nuthin yet!!!

How...

Gorgeous and grown up is my big girl... I was going through the school newsletter today and have to fill in her book list for next year and it only just hit that she is going to be in grade 3 next year... OMG!!

I remember being in grade 3, I met people I am still so close with... I might hunt down some old pics when I go to mum and dads next..

Hoody

Central Vic feels like it has had an iceberg hit, it is freezing here....brrrrrr
Quinn has been growing so much that all his jumpers are too short for him and I have been wanting to make this little Otto pattern for ages...very cute!



Aren't we cute......

Learning to sew.. :)

My big girl has been asking me to learn how to sew but it is usually when I am in the middle of something..typical! lol
Anyhoo after I finished making my bag the other night I thought I would start by getting her to sew on a scrap to get used to it and use back stitch etc... Ahh such a proud moment!

Next I think we will make a bag or cushion but I will get her to cut the fabric and start from scratch...and not at 7.30 pm....

Don't look at the chaos, you can tell when I have been sewing, my table looks like a bomb has gone off...so does the house actually!

Added Button

I found a button that had came off one of my fake fur jackets that I haven't worn for years, in fact I think the jacket is still in a box from the last move so when I find it I will take the other button off it for the other side of the bag!! I think the button sets the bag off nice, it now feels more finished..

I love this bag!!

I love the way this bag turned out. It is The Wasp Bag from machen/machen and the tutorial is from here..
I had a few issues with the destructions but I think it was all me.. haha
Anyhoo, here is a pic....
I am going to hunt for some buttons to fit on the tear drop bit of the handle..
The inside pocket and key thingy!!

I think I will definantly make this bag again but it did take me alot longer than I had expected!!
