Or at least that's what it looks and feels like ...
Went into Hickeys today to get a few notions: bought 2 zips for my bag projects and cord string - if that's what it's called. Bags sometimes have handles made from them.
However, when I approached they remnant bin, did I not just find another piece of that lovely violet rose fabric I did my first bag in ... I also found this leather-like material. And it's red!
It looks so pretty and feels so pretty!
The owl oilcloth fabric will be part of another project. I would like to replace my laptop bag with something new the owl fabric was pretty much what was left on the role.
I also started to lay out the material for my mothers beach bag, can't make a decision on the material that has to go inside colour-wise. I have some fabric left from curtains I made for my housemates - okay, I had to shortly ready-made curtains from IKEA but seriously - pushing through that amount of fabric takes it out of you. I sort of understand why people who sew don't like it - or at least some of them don't. It's just a very long line of stitches ...
Here a picture of my mum's beach bag material, hope she likes it:
Background colour is beige so I am thinking I have a look for something plain and bright. The curtain fabric is my way out if I can't find anything I like. The little piece of paper gives me the approximate size of the bag.
Still surprised the notes I took made it back in one piece to Ireland, although slightly creased.
Now, wish me luck. Pattern cutting starts on Saturday and I am still going to make cordial from elderflowers before they are gone but most of the cordial making process happens over night.
