Plan for the morning: work on my market bag after cutting out the shapes at the weekend.
What actually happened: the exhaustive house search for the extra bobbins i bought a week ago since i only have 2 (already loader in white and dark grey) and i wanted to use yellow or green on this. The bobbins and the case are clear plastic which adds to degree of difficulty. Ordered a couple more lots online.
Found the originals 2 mins later, down the front side of a drawer. Aaaargh!
Slowly making progress with my simple market bag. Took me a little while to figure out placing the pattern on the old gingham tablecloth. Then the green lining material was total sh*t to cut out.
Had cut again this morning - first go was unsalvageable. Lucky it's thrifted material. Bit dubious about how easy it's going to be to sew if it's that fiddly to cut. But if nothing else, it'll be a learning experience. Sew la vie!
Printed out a free pattern for a reversible bag (after almost endless browsing - so many options!) Just cut it out and taped it together. Now have to see if i have enough fabric from my recent thrift score to work with this pattern. All the fabric is now sitting in the washing basket after being washed and line dried. So feel like things are happening, even if slowly.
