It's in the bag...

No card…just a bag. That I made today. I’m taking a beginner’s sewing class with a friend and this is what we made today…a tote bag. Had a make up class so we were there for four hours today. But it was nice to be able to complete the project without having to lug it home and try and remember what we were supposed to do.

It looks a bit like I made it…but since it’s my first sewing project in years, I won’t be too hard on myself. Next week we make pj bottoms.

Bag is reversible… I prefer this side.

While I was at the fabric store, I spied this fabric, which I think will make some cute kiddy cards…although I have yet to use most of the fabrics from my purchase after last week’s class.

I guess I really need to find some craft time.

Thanks for looking…

For the love of fabric…

Some new and old fabrics I hope to incorporate into my card creations this next week.

I adore fabric...and l love using it to create cards, among other things. It's all my mom’s fault. My brothers and I had to spend hours waiting for her in the fabric departments, which old department stores (i.e., Carson Pierre Scott and Marshall Fields) had once upon a time. I guess all that hanging around fabrics got to me...as it did my younger brother. He uses swaths of fabrics to decorate, wrap gifts, etc. Thanks, Mom!

I’m taking a sewing class (for beginners) with a friend. Funny: I now have to pay for something that my mom tried to give me for free!

Did a bit of shopping after class. Sigh...no more Deb Strain’s “Lotta Latte” (Modafabrics) that I used in my Kraft card creation the other day. Bummer! I love that design. But I found this piece

(and then cut these out after attaching fusible webbing)...

and this…

Hoping to have time to play with these over the weekend.

Hope you have a great Friday!
