Day 154 - Library Bag


Now the girls are 2 they are able to go down to story time at the local library on a Monday. I thought it would be a great idea to get my sewing machine back out to whip them up a library bag each.

You would have seen the fabrics from yesterday's post. With a child and work free day today I took the opportunity to sew my first one.I am pretty happy with the result other than some very random stitching from my sewing machine. There are a few things I will google before I sew my next one.

My sewing machine punished me today a few times for not getting it out more often. (The needle actually fell out of the machine... I haven't worked out how that happened yet!) and the noises it made today certainly are telling me either that I don't get it out often enough or it is time for a service.

Hopefully I can finish my library bags project before I need to do that.

Day 153 - Fabric


I found these beautiful fabrics while shopping in Spotlight a few weeks ago.

I am going to attempt to make library bags for the girls and Patrick in the next few days. Since we are all 2 (well nearly Patrick!) we can go to Story/Rhyme time at the library on Mondays. So I think it is a good time to introduce a library bag.

I just love the owl fabric.

When completed I will take another photo to show the finished product. I am hoping this blog will force me to do things a little quicker.
