I've been busy

I've been pretty busy lately.

Well, I am always pretty busy.

But recently........so.very.busy.

Anyway, here is a little look at how I have been occupying myself lately.

I started teaching some purse classes at my favorite quilt shop.

Not only had I never before taught a class,

I had never even taken any sewing class!

I am pretty much a figure-it-out-on-my-own kind of gal.

So I never saw a need for a class....after all, I could read a pattern, right?

I started out with any easy one. I love this tote because it is super simple

and has a lot of pockets.

Please ignore the fact that I have yet to attach the button.

You know........... busy, busy, busy!

Then we made this bag. Slightly more challenging for my students

but they did learn how to install a zipper.

Yeah!

I really loved this bag when I saw the pattern,

but it turns out that I really don't like it.

I mean, I like the shape and the zippered interior pockets

but I just don't like carrying it.

I don't know.

My upcoming class is for this bag.
I finished it today and I am very pleased with how it turned out.

I did change the way the zipper is installed

as I couldn't find a purse zipper to coordinate with my fabric.


I've also done a lot of sewing for my little guy too.

I'll post pics of those projects later this week.
