Okay, is it just me, or do you guys find that sewing with scraps takes a LOT longer than just getting out the fabric and sewing away? By the time I finished my project last night it was too dark to take any pictures so I thought I'd spare you. So here is Day 16's project:
So there was a pile of scraps just lying there and I thought, just start piecing them and then decide what you want to make at the end. Since it took longer than I expected, I decided to go with a placemat. Of course, then I'm thinking, "who would want a single placemat in my giveaway?". I don't know, but there it is. Maybe I'll get a similar one made before the end of the challenge period so that there'll be a set to give away.
And then today (Day 17) I found what I was looking for. . . the pattern for this bag. Yay! I've made at least a half dozen or more of these bags and I just love them. Of course, it was awhile ago, so when I went to sew this little puppy up, I disregarded my instincts and tried to follow the instructions. Bad move . . . my instincts were right and after ripping out some seams, I ended up with this little beauty. Everyone needs a bag, am I right?
Perfect for a bookstore run with sketchbook, pens, markers, books, etc. I use my bag all the time. This is also leftover fabric from a quilted yoga bag or two. This bag is not quilted, but it is lined, has a pocket and a magnetic closure. Nice!
