Should I sell or should I keep ?

 Should I sell or should I keep ?

Mum found this amazing material for me, just £1.00 for approx 2 metres.  Its a heavy fabric with red/maroon  furry bits, the beige is grainy in texture.  You can see I like material by texture and look, couldn't give you the name of it.   Couldn't believe my luck, so I made a bag, just a simple one with a liner ( that's so the seems are not visable). 

Its not quite finished as it needs a button and a button hole, then a quick whizz around the top edge to finish it off.  But I am soo excited by it . . . .  ( gosh I am also sad to be sooo sooo happy - get a life Sara !!)

I love it, the only problem now is that I want it. 

It fits across the body so comfortably. . .  I think I really made it for me . . . and although I have lots of material left ( this was going to be for cushion) I could make another bag . . . but that too I should really keep for the stall.

Am I mumbling on  . . . . 

So should I put it in the cupboard and use it for my stall on the green in the summer, or should I keep it ?

All thoughts welcomed.

Cheers

Sara

Pillow Case Bag . . . dead easy !!!!!!

 

So here is where you can find some more directions BAG 2 - this is the one I made.

but here is where you can find the directions BAG 1  which is similar but less detailed and lined.

I topped mine off with a flower on the top of the handle.

Great idea for an easy bag.

Love it, hope you do too.

plastic tablecloths make great bags for gifts & even better as scooter bags :)

Two purposes :

 "great for a little girls present" comments the mums

"oh super, a peg bag," states the more mature grannys

I love the plastic tablecloth fabric about at the moment.  And so I make bags for the weekly village craft fayre. They are so simple to make.  ( sew the handles on first and the sides next)

I made a mistake with one ( must have been sewing late at night) and it turned into a scooter bag.  Popular with little girls especially my daughters. 

Great fun, easy to make and perfect for presents.  

Just one thing to note. . . . .   Not all plastics are easy to sew, had to buy a walking foot to solve the fabric sticking, heard that a teflon foot is also a good to overcome this problem. 

A need to sew . . .

Have just heard of a local fair where I can hopefully sell some of my sewing bits and bobs. Unforunatley this means that I have to start being creative again. Actually I am secretly looking forward to locking myself away in the back room and 'playing' as it is sometimes referred to.

Will be baking loads of mini Christmas cakes and hopefully making some more marmalade. Both sell really well butI love giving the marmalade to family and friends. My husband and daughters don't like marmalade so it always seems a waste opening a jar just for me.

ooooooh. . . . . hot toast, melted butter and homemade marmalade . . . . don't understand why anyone doesn't like it.

Have just tried creating apple and ginger jam but sadly it is only a hit with me and my dad. We both like ginger and sadly the girls and Husband don't.

Oh well.

Today I will share my new handbag with you . . . . . . .

I love it.

By the way, thats me ( very young) in the top picture and my two girls in the pics below.

If you want details on how to make it, please ask and I'll do my best to share. ( it only takes about 1 hour to make and is very easy)
