some sewing with a friend

S came over this evening and we did some sewing. The past few days I've been looking at a lot of crafty blogs and it has inspired me to be more crafty. Sewing isn't really my thing (it should be, my mum is an amazing seamstress!!) but I decided to try the shoulder bag tutorial on tiny happy. I used dark red drill for the outside and a funky bluey gray skull print for the inside.
here's how it turned out...

I'm pretty impressed with it, my first real sewing attempt. Melissa provides a great tutorial for this pattern. Here's what the skull print looks like (albeit a bit creased):

We also popped a sewn corner on Dora's head while she munched on a pumpkin seed. Made quite a fetching hat I thought!

I can't believe the weekend is nearly over! I had soo much planned yetgot so little done! I haven't been in the garden at all this weekend and our herb/vege patch is very overdue for a weed! I think this week after work I will tackle the task of sorting out my study/crafting/rats room and organise a bit. I suspect this crafting buzz will result in a lot more hoarding!!

Time for bed now, early start tomorrow. Sleep tight.
