Little and large!

Made 11 bags today - 7 biggies and 4 small ones. Got 3 more small ones to do. The pile of completed stuff is growing nicely! Just 2 weeks until my first craft fair and it's looking good, I think!

The small ones are reversible too!

 The big ones are unlined - more like handy shopping bags!

Also made a book bag yesterday, which I was really pleased with as I've lost the pattern for it so did it from looking at the one I made myself years ago!

 Did manage to cock up slightly by cutting the fabrics on my lap and cutting straight through my pyjama drawstring and decapitating my tape measure! Oops!

Who's been a busy bee then?!

Me! That's who!

Despite working on my mum's machine, which seems to hate me and fall apart and break the thread and generally do stupid things every 2 minutes, I finally finished the 4 bags I was aiming to get done today. Nearly only managed 3 but the last one, the stars one, only took 20 mins so that was dead easy! The others are the ones I will put crayons into, as per the blue one at the bottom. The pockets and individual crayon slots for these ones take ages, hence the slow speed! Getting them out of the way then I go back to quick makes!

Have a VERY long list of makes to get done in the next 3 weeks so need to do more than 4 a day, but hopefully I've got this machine sussed now!

Also made some purses the other day which are quite cute and take, ooh, 5 minutes to do if that...

Been a busy little bee the last 2 days!

Check out all I've made in the last couple of days - I am LOVING having some time to do loads of sewing!

New Twitter account and loads of new ideas.....

Have spent a bit of time setting up a Twitter account. I now have 27 followers!! Wow! Find me @sewcology!!


It does mean I've managed to connect with a few more sewing enthusiasts and have spent quite a few minutes (errrr, hours) browsing some new sites.
