Flexibility
There are some things I like to crochet and there are other things I'd like to sew. I've recently come to realize that although I love the market-style bags that others crochet so well, I would much rather sew them, so that is what I set out to do.
A few years ago, I made myself a bag out of an ethnic print upholstery fabric and lined it with black linen. Why? It was what I had in the house. (You know when I get trapped in, I must find something to craft, so I did.) Once my cousin gave out those red pins for Christmas - the ones that mean that money was donated to help the "AIDS in Africa" effort. That was the pin I used on this bag I made and I received lots of compliments. Recently I decided to make more of these bags, but in different fabrics.
Back to crocheting? No, I've decided that the needle breaking was just a sign that I need to tidy up loose ends around here, do things that I've been neglecting to do, and upload items that have already been made. Remember, I've got to meet my deadline.
With that being said, today I listed 3 notecard collections (sets of 8) and a single notecard. All are my own photography prints. I've got something in mind for each season, but I'm playing around with presentation ideas.

Wow, love the notecards, Libby!
ReplyDeleteI love the print on that bag! Very fun! Are you going to put those on your shop too, or are they for you? the note card is really nice! You're so talented.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many talents dear. I'm very impressed! The notecards are very nice. Good luck with those also.
ReplyDeleteI've tried to "sew" through many pins before but luckily nothing has messed up on the machine, yet. I try to use less pins now or just try to catch them before they get close to the needle.
Have fun getting things together. I should really do that around here! Getting a little crazy around here.
