Then after lunch we watched The Desolation of Smaug, and I managed to get 210" of binding stitched down. It was a long film!
Other than that, my parcel of bag-makery arrived from Bag Clasps...
... and I cut out a pattern...
My Typewriter Sidekick Tote is my most loved and used bag, and I have often thought I should make the larger size too, because I do tend to haul a lot of gubbins about with me. So with yesterday's shopping, I think I have a plan. Just need to get a bit more interfacing and then there'll be some handbag action xxx
Let me just say how much I enjoyed the word "gubbins."
ReplyDeleteThe hobbit is great fun! I could not stop laughing in the cinema. You are lucky, I am still waiting for my supplies to arrive. I am already chasing the postman ....
ReplyDeleteOoh, new project, can't wait to see this one! :o)
ReplyDeleteGreat to do a larger side kick tote. I love the one I made but as I discovered at FQR it could have done with being a tad bigger ;-)
ReplyDeleteNow why do we never hear our American cousins talk about bags in gubbins hauling proportions?!
ReplyDeleteBags definitely seem to be your theme.for the week :)
ReplyDeleteOoh I've been trying to decide on a bag pattern this last week, forgot about the sidekick, there's an idea. We are watching Smaug tonight so maybe I should haul my Made to Measure out and baste it so I can start the hand quilting in front of the dwarves. See, you're just an inspiration to me. (can't wait to see what bag you are starting)
ReplyDeleteOooh, bags, that's a good idea, I need to make some birthday pressies! (although very lazily, mine will just be a variation on a tote bag!)
