August project very late!

Hi everyone,
Well, here is my finished sewing case (cheater version with no stitchery)three months late.
I'm afraid that life just got in the way and I was unable to keep up despite the best of intentions.
I'm determined to do the needle case as well as soon as I have the time.
So here is the front with buttons instead of stitchery


Back view is plain

Bringing up the Rear

Hi everyone,
I always have such good intentions of working on my SAL piece at the beginning of the month but somehow it always ends up as a last minute panic.
My bag is done although it doesn't resemble the original pattern all that much since I made it bigger and used a different stitchery design.
I had a charm pack of La Petite Ecole by French General for Moda so I used that for the hexagons and added a FQ and a half yard of coordinating fabrics.



The stitchery design is by Kathy Schmitz




A panel with the alphabet was used for the inner pocket.



I'm inspired and love all of the beautiful bags on the blog so far.

Tis Done!

Hi everyone,

Here's my April project all done and dusted almost two weeks before the deadline.
I decided to make my banner long and skinny by turning everything on its side. This was so that it could hang in various small spaces.



What a fun little project.
I love all the finished banners I'm seeing on the blog. Congratulations to everyone who has finished April so far.

Cutting it Fine

Hi everyone, Talk about last minute! I have finished my bag with very little time to spare. Fabrics are all Ruenneries by French General for Moda. I've really enjoyed seeing all of the lovely versions of the Red Home bag. Looking forward to the March pincushion now :) Margaret
