Sewing Fun!

Hi everyone! 

I spent the weekend at a small retreat with some friends and managed to get some sewing for me finished! :) Yay!

I have been wanting to color coordinate my retreat bags and project bags for taking to retreat in my favorite black, white, grey and red combos. I finished two different project bags. :-) The patterns are some my friend wrote to teach at another retreat, so I tested for her while making for me. LOL I love them!!

They both have vinyl 'windows' so you can see the project inside.  I usually pack my small red suitcase with my projects in bags. :o This will be so much better! ;-)

Another friend wanted to try her hand at bag making, so I helped her through a Bow Tucks Tote bag.  We each made one, so I could show her the steps, rather than just talk about them.  I think I will use mine for retreat also. LOL

I have made this bag many times for gifts, so finally, one of my own. The really nice thing about this pattern is that there are no zippers, no hardware etc. I just need to get a button for the top loop closure.  (note: I am not an affiliate for this pattern and the views expressed are my own)

 I think I have convinced my friend that bag making is fun. The next time we get together, she wants to try her hand at a zipper pouch. :-) Yay!!

I also worked on a quilt top, but it isn't quite together yet.  Next time. ;-)

Until then, stay warm and

Happy Sewing!!!
