I am planning on doing nothing but sewing tomorrow to make up for lack of time to do any this week

I did throw a wallet together for my DS this afternoon, he has gone away with a friend to Filey for the wkend and had nothing to put his spending money in, I had an hour to do one so I decided on this one as it looked simple http://sewchristine.blogspot.com/2009/08/new-tutorial.html
I have some realy cool dragon fabric so got started on it and the sewing machine was not going to play ball :mad: the cotton kept breaking then I had to change the needle as it was bent

I did get it done and he is happy with it and he can use it but to me it was a mess so will do him another one

Hope to catch up with you all tomorrow and I will get some labels done too :rotfl:

Thank for your kind comments...no stitching done today. Sorted out all my stuff and have it all packed away in bags and boxes and hidden away round the house. DS1's room looks like his bedroom again!!

I will get some sewing done over the weekend, but I need to attack the garden sometime...it's suffering from sever neglect atm!

Sorry to hear the shop has closed down georgiabay, hope you find another outlet soon.

Right, off to bed, shattered tonight.

Hope everyone has a productive weekend. x

Do you mean a small round pill box? If you do, would a little drawstring bag be suitable?

Or maybe an iPhone case but shorter?

Hi Sharon yes I am doing it as Ive not done a bag from a paper pattern before only tutorials from a blog
Im a bit of a dunce when it comes to patterns so this will be a challenge :rotfl: (I have seen your fabric on FB, very nice )
