After about 3 weeks of spring weather, we suddenly turned to summer. We have been having weather around 30C. I am not a fan, and it makes my sewing space much too warm. We have a couple more days of heat, in the coming week, then it is predicted to be more moderate.
I have nearly finished my Sunshine Crossbody Bag, and it ended up bigger than I wanted. I love to look of it, but I wanted something just for making quick trips and errands.
The back has no zipper.
Lots of pockets, for a phone, cards, and other necessities.
It also has a leash for keys.
After I finish the pressing and add a strap, it will be off to its new home.
Emmaline's Bags has a new wallet pattern, and when they offered a kit with everything except the thread, I just had to get one.
You buy the pattern separate, because you can use it again and again. The kit is a great idea if you don't have a lot of vinyl or cork scraps and want to make one. The pattern looks easy, so I can see making more than one.
I finished my baby socks.
The yarn is leftovers from a pair of socks earlier this year. I was surprised when the socks turned out to be identical.
The new Quilt The North box arrived today. I am among the first to get it, I expect, so I'll wait to post my unboxing, however, one item in the box is exciting.
There is a zipper! This won't be the usual Quilt the North Project.
I have a couple of handbags to finish in the next while, but I am excited to do this project, too.
