I had a quiet evening with time to sew, so I made another tote, lined with yellow solid fabric. For now I keep my stash of wool in it, but I will probably use this bag for groceries.

Sewing this tote and one other project bag takes me a few hours: slowly I can sit behind my sewing machine for longer periods of time, but I still end up feeling my right shoulder stiffen quicker than I would before it froze up on me those months ago.

Net uit pure frustratie een nieuwe Hema kussensloop uit elkaar getrokken langs de naden. Het lukte me maar niet om deze netjes recht te strijken en ja, toen ik de lap van ongeveer 50*160 cm uitvouwde, zag je dat de naden aan een kant diagonaler waren gestikt dan aan de andere kant.

Niet helemaal dw bedoeling, maar ach, de stof wordt altijd wel herbuikt!

Created another three bags yesterdays from (partial) scraps: one for myself, one for my young niece, and one just for fun.

I enjoy making these, because my frozen shoulder does not yet allow me to sit behind the sewing machine for longer periods.

Two new morsbags sewn: one for a friend of my mother and the other for my physical therapist:  both had recent birthdays and these are always fun to make.

One more bag, just to keep my sewing skills up.

I can't sew but my grandma sewed for Ceil Chapman for decades. I used to tear out ads in the NY Times for dresses from Saks Fifth Avenue, hand them to my grandma, and she'd consult with me about the fabric and give me the dress in a day or so.

Have I told you guys about Fit2Stitch?

This is my favorite episode - a dissection of a Christian Dior dress:

A possible new quilt is living in my mind these days: I have no idea yet which geometric patterned block I will choose, though I want one where the fabric design is very prominent.

Door die stomme frozen shoulder kan ik nog niet lang achter de naaimachine zitten, maar kleine projecten lukken wel.
Tijd om een hoes voor mijn nieuwe ipad te maken met een lapje dat ik vorige week op de Patchwork & Quiltdagen heb gekocht.

(En ja, het patroon op het lapje is een log cabin block).
