Bag Imperfections |
I was glad to finish something yesterday, having had trouble with starting, let alone completing, ANYTHING creative lately. Imperfections be danged - let me complete SOMETHING!!
And now the Monday Wednesday Morning Quarterback-ing begins.
(Of course)
Hand Stitched Edge Finishes - Embroiderer's Guild lessons |
I'm scarred-for-life (KIDDING!!!)
with the lessons learned in details from The Embroiderer's Guild.

It does make me painfully aware of what I can do when I focus and allow myself the time to work.
I've not let myself time for either lately!
Strap enhancement |
But anyway -
Two things bother me about the bag construction
1) The tucking/pinching at one of the corners - simple to remedy with more pinning during stitching to ease in excess fabrics.
2) The rumply, bumpy handle.
Strap top view |
This morning after school dropoff (and before I head out for a run) I had a go at the strap leftovers from yesterday.

I like that!!!
(Ignore the cat hairs - Dewey slept on the pieces last night!!)
