Well, not really stats, more of a mini update.
I have been busy and have 6 bags done, and am now working of the mother lode of bags, the end-of-bag-week Hurrah! so to speak. My sisters baby bag.
As usual, she makes things really easy, Not. So, along the lines of her wanting lots of patterns and colours, I have done just that. thirteen pieces of pattern,which need 2 lots of material… so 26 pieces cut and ready to sew. Then there is the flap to cover it, the strap, and the buttons & loops (will tell you about that once it’s done..)
I am alternating one bag with another that I am beading a fringe for…. both fiddly work, so doing different ‘exercises’ with each. I will be needing more beads than I thought I would with the fringe – lucky I have enough of the chosen colours to see me through. There’s about 32 there already, and will need about 15 more to finish it.
A full progress report tomorrow after I have photographed all items.
Keep smiling 🙂

Self taught to an extent.. mum has been sewing forever, and I spose I took in more than I thought. I recently found a bag I made 20 yrs ago, so bags have been around a long time for me, lol. Thanks for the lovely compliment, I do enjoy making them.
