.......a late night sewing well into the early hours of the morning but once started I couldn't stop and I am so happy with the finished result. I also love the button I found, I went into the shop looking for a toggle type button and it so didn't suit the bag but this one is perfect.
I found the pattern here (The Everything Bag on the Tutorial sidebar). I didn't want my bag quite so big so adjusted the pieces although it has come out quite a big smaller due to the lining being too big, so I cut it down and then had to slightly adjust the outer bag. The finished bag is approx 11" (width) x 8.5" (height) which is perfect for what I wanted although quite a lot smaller than the original pattern.
And so, knowing that I would be tired, not want to get up and a tad grumpy sensitive in the morning, what did I do to give myself some extra "sleep" time.........I set everything up for Jordan before I went to bed so that he would get his own breakfast. He loves it when I do this, he can get the milk out and pour it into the little jug without any spills and will eat his breakfast on his own quite happily.
Love the bag, its been too long since i made one. I give thanks for my big kids who get the breakfast done and make their own lunches.
ReplyDeleteShame about the bickering that went on a quarter to five this morning.
Sigh
