Lovely bags pootle & genie

Those are beautiful bags Pootle and Genie...how long do they take to make?
That is a clever idea Genie using a patchwork quilt and then embellishing it.

Mine calls it self the 1hr bag but it took a lot longer. As i joined some spotted material to the bottom of the patchwork material added the ribbons and bow etc. As well
answering the door for the umpteenth time for the kids and their friends lol.

Hi,
just popping in for my daily hi, i do really love those bags and i'm desperate to make one just really needing the courage to get round to it, Plus i only have one of those litte £10 sewing machines, not tried it yet but i wonder if it will be good enough for something like a bag?
has anyone else used one of the little ones for a sewing project?

Also i just wanted to say i have loads of sewing patterns if anyone wants them just PM me with your email and ill email them over,
theirs bags, bibs, toys, shoes, adult slippers, cushion covers,clothing ,childrens clothing etc etc... x

Also so you know where I would get the glue to stick gems back onto clothes dd1 gems have come off her top, I have the gems just need to glue them back on !!
Thanks

The rods for the blinds can be bought on ebay or buy dowling from B&Q or similar. You don't have to have rods in roman blinds though. I hadn't realised this when I bought rods for mine. When I looked at my professionally made blinds I realised they didn't have rods.

If you look in your local sewing shop they should have the glue.
