The Sewing Room

Thanks to eveyone who has suggested bag books. I'm now spoilt for choice will have a good look at the ones recommended and go for one to start. I like the look of the Amelie bag as this allows for so many variations that I may have to invest in the pattern.

I've been waiting in for a delivery to arrive and whilst the plan was to either sew or do x-stitch I haven't managed either. We are having a new kitchen fitted next week and my husband has left me with a list of things that need doing. Never mind will definately get something done tomorrow.

Put a starting price on that is reasonable, as I ended up selling a bag at £2.89 which was a huge loss on the fabrics, as I had bought some fabrics to make it rather then all recycled things. Even then I buy the recycled things most of the time.
I need to get pictures of my work room and my latest makes sorted out.
Some of them for my homepage and some for my business plans. Which are too airy fairy at the moment,. Its all in my head and not really on paper. Well its in my diary, or my note book, or an envelope.:o:eek:
I ended up spending about two hours looking at the links on the No chat Thread. When I should have been working on the plan. !

They are coming along well. Have you tried the loop around a childs head? and are the ties long enough? Maybe I make mine too long, but I like to be able to tie them around the front as well as the back, as some children like to do them themselves and ties at the back when learning to do bows is difficult. Just a thought, not a critisism, I hope you understand.
Keep up the good work, and you will soon have them running off in moments. I cut out several at a time, and that reduces the amount of time, a bit like a production line, then sew them etc
