I get a gift of money to buy something just for me, for my birthday each year. When I was a stay at home mom, I used to get myself a subscription to a sewing or quilting magazine. I saved them all. Now, in 2016, I can look up most anything I am looking for on the internet. I never created any sort of index for the magazines, so I am not sure how I ever figured I would find anything again.
I also filled a box with books, to send to a local book sale. Maybe some beginner sewist will enjoy them.
On Monday, I did a happy dance, after I received my order from Emmaline Bags.
I love these zippers.
I also restocked my hardware,
I actually got started on a summer bag, for me.
Lovely pattern, and the fabric is beautiful. Hardware, always so good to have it handy, nothing is worse that making something and finding when you need 4 of a kind, there are only 3 matching ones. I can see many more bags coming up soon.
ReplyDeleteI, too, need have lots of old paper items laying around...magazines, recipes, patterns, books. Every once in awhile I do a small purge, but it seems endless.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore the purple-grey-white-black floral print. It's gorgeous. Can't wait to see the summer bag!
That's an interesting fabric! I have several years' worth of quilting magazines, and decided I might as well keep them to flip through now and then......so many other people have them here that they are a glut on the market. My heirs can worry about them when I'm gone.
ReplyDeleteDear Kate
ReplyDeleteWill those big plans include " Bags for friends?"
I still like to page through those old magazines. They're inspiring....except the dust makes me sneeze. :)
ReplyDeleteI have been going through my quilting magazines and setting them aside for a friend who is new to quilting. i've read them several times and am only keeping the few I plan to use.
ReplyDeleteThose are pretty zippers with a sturdy pull for a bag.
Thanks for linking up with Needlework Tuesday
