I didn't realise......

It's been 2 months since I posted! Eek. Sometimes life (& bag making) gets in the way of blogging. You'd think I've been sewing up a storm but I haven't really. Just some bags. I think I'm addicted to making bags.

I leave for Brisbane in a week or so but I haven't been doing my usual last minute clothes sewing. All because I made that wardrobe & cruise wardrobe earlier this year for Brisbane. Big cheer! But I did think I might just whip up some pull-on jeans (you know, like the Jalie ones?) using an old TNT Vogue 7608. Haven't made those since 2004 when I was fat. Well since I'm fat AGAIN...I thought they'd work OK. But the best laid plans....they are TOO BIG! In fact, they are HUGE. Sigh. Luckily I am doing a fitting class with Roberta Thompson at Convention so I can take them as an example of pants crap. He he he.

Anyway, onto the things I can show you. Yes, they are bags. If you're not interested you can pop off now. I won't be offended. Well, maybe a little. Pffft.

First one up is called the Hipbag Hybrid. I like this bag "in theory" but parts of it just don't work. Including the magnets inside that can't cope with any sort of heaviness and the zipper pouch that collapses onto itself when stuff is inside it. But it looks good.

This one is a Nicole Mallalieu coin purse that I made ages ago & have just finished it by adding the frame.

This is a Studio Cherie glasses case that I made in a morning. Quick and looks great. I can see more of these in my future (gifts?).

This is also by Studio Cherie. It's a Zip Around Wallet. Looks soo professional if I do say so myself. Very happy with it.

Last but not least is a duffel I made last month. I quilted all the fabric using bra foam and ordered the zip specially from Zipperstop. I love it. It's a great size and manages to stand up all by itself. It's Simplicity 2600.
