At long last I am delighted to announce that I have finally finished my new bag for work! It has been sitting in pieces for quite some time and last Sunday, when it rained pretty much all day, I got on with it. I love the cats in glasses material and added the denim for the base as I felt it would be long lasting.
It has 'heat and bond' inside so that it keeps its shape. My previous bag just had some interfacing and over time, it just went all flollopy (technical term) and I got annoyed with it (it did last ten years though, so I can't really complain). I hope this one lasts as long!
I love the cat fabric (Fryett's 'Cool Cats') so much that I have bought enough to make into a pinafore - it will probably need to be lined, so it may take me a while... There is a rather nice blue scandi patterned fabric I have also got my eye on for a pinafore too and I have denim waiting to be cut out. I think I am going to be busy!
In other sewing news, I am going on a workshop this Sunday, led by Stuart Hillard, called 'Free Motion Quilting for the terrified', so will report back on that next week. I am really looking forward to it.
