It's a green bag...

Yeah, pretty pathetic title I know...

I was itching to use some green velvet ribbon that a friend had given me and this was the only fabric that would go with it. It's different that's for sure! It was a vintage pillow case that I had bought ages ago... I followed (roughly) the pattern from the Bend the Rules sewing book. I love the style of this bag. I'm sure I will make it again with a different fabric and adjust the pattern more to suit my needs.

Not much else to write about. I feel like I'm talking to myself in here most times anyway!

I can't think of something witty for a title!!!

First up is a photo of some of the gorgeous embroidered ribbon I got the other day. The ones that are wrapped up with a rubber band I got awhile ago at a car boot sale. Sorry about the quality of the pic. Just to the right of the ribbon was a little 3yr old girl who wanted to play with the ribbons so I had to act quick and take a photo before she swipped them all.

Here are a couple of photos of said 3yr old girl.
Looking adorable while playing dress-ups.

She wasn't too impressed about having her photo taken after awhile!

No other sewing happening here. Unless you count converting a long sleeved polar fleece jacket into a vest for DH to wear to golf as 'sewing'!

Gotta love a bargain.

On the weekend I stopped off at a garage sale. I managed to grab a whole bag full of fabric and lace, a bag full of clips and some GORGEOUS embroidered ribbon for $4!!!!!. I will get photos of the other bits and pieces soon but for now I will just share what I made yesterday.



I'll be back when I've got more photos...
