Sewing

I've been having a play with a sewing machine for the past couple of days, and I'm actually quite surprised how quickly I'm getting the hang it. I'm not amazing with it yet by any means but I'm sure that will all come with time.

So far I've managed to make a full circle skirt with an elasticated waist band, a reusable shopping bag, a pin cushion and a furry purple messenger bag which I'm quite proud of. :)


The strap isn't ideal, its blue webbing rather than black or even purple and it isn't adjustable but it does the job and it's what I had handy. It was a bargain actually! I managed to pick up two whole rolls of webbing, the other roll is thinner than the one I used on the bag, from a car boot a few months ago for a couple of quid! The inside is purple too (not furry) which looks great.
I'll have to get hold of some adjusters for next time I make a bag but I'm really pleased with this one!. :)
