OUCH!!

Sewing when I'm tired = needles in my fingers=ouchhhh! I hate it but I must complete this bag before I sleep. I hate leaving projects unfinished. I just want to see the final result without bleeding too much. Is that too much to ask?!

The Task Begins!

Well I've set my self the task of creating a bag that is not a clutch bag. Well its taken me forever to cut the pieces to the exact measurements I need them to be (I detest pattern cutting) But year. Here is a display of all the ingredients I'm going to be working with. So let the fun commence!!

New Materials!!! Yay!

Finally found a shop that sells African fabric in smaller measurements. Normally you would have to buy 6 yards to enable you to make a three-piece attire. Yet I make bags and I need 1 yard corn flamdit!

But anyway, after my travels in London, I found the poifect shop and hey presto, I got a few just to play with. If I like what I make, then I will in deed purchase more.

Here's a little sneak peek of some of the fabrics I have.

Thoughts on me little hobby so far.

Well the bag making craze has slowed down now (if you can call 6 bag a craze), Its increasingly expensive to purchase frames, especially as I am completing an internship that has nothing what so ever to do with crafts. Today was such a busy day. I had delivered a job application to Bedfordshire and had an interview at London at 1pm.
Doesn’t sound so challenging but I lost my money on the way to the station and my bank card went bizzerk. I had to return home and sort it all out by phone and then begin my journey again. All in all I was an hour and 15 minutes late.
I caught up on the creative aspects of my work while on the rail to London and they were such a hit at the organisation thank God. He gives me all my good ideas you see.

I just want to take this moment to thank God for taking care of me in every single way I need, and in ways I didn’t know I needed. What a close friend I have in Jesus. Its more than I could have imagined and hoped for.

The Pictures have arrived!!

Taddaaa!!!!, I figured the pattern out finally. Still needs loads more tweeks here and there but its my first so I'm proud, proud, proud!. I love the material too, created to a better, it could be lovely as a vintage style wedding bag. Need to work on the patter me sewing skills. x.out.x

New Bag Design

Yay, made a new bag shape. It took me a while to work out the calculations, which was quite odd with me being a math genius and all that. Well the picture as well as pictures of the other bags will be uploaded asap as promised previously. As for now, I'm off to make another bag I dsicovered on another blog.

Wish me luck.x

Back

Been off for a while thinking about my bag making hobby and what step to take next; take a course or just continue to learn by trial and error. Its just like me to pick a hobby that costs money. Why couldn't I just have a regular hobby like most people, e.g. watching television, eating, sleeping, even breathing, that can be fun.

Well till I do decide, Ill just continue with the T&E approach.

Till next time.
