It's June

 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.


This is the front.

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.

  1. The bag fabrics are great fun! Your Quilt the North zipper is very interesting, I wonder what it will turn out to be?

  2. The fabric you chose for your bag is so gorgeous and you're sending the bag away? It's been so hot over here as well. I mean Singapore is a hot country but the heat for the past week has been killing me. Nights are really bad because the temperature remained high. During the day, I have a ceiling fan above me and a dedicated small fan aimed at the lower half of me. Night time I have a ceiling fan AND air conditioning. I take showers a few times and I still feel hot. Hoping for cooler temp for you and me.
