Sewing Case - Tick

Last weekend I spent some quality time with my sewing machine and I managed to complete my August project for the SAL.
I unfortunately wasn't able to get any template plastic here in the town where I live and by Saturday night I was sooo closed to being finished.
I often travel with my job, so whilst I was in the small town of Wellington in NSW I popped into the little fabric shop and luckily they had just what I needed.
 
 
I really enjoyed making this months project, however I did struggle putting the template plastic in.
 I just couldn't seem to get my fabric to stick to the template plastic no matter how hard I tried.
 
 
Until Next Time
Happy Stitching
