Sock Clutch

Shelley — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 10:41:38 +0100

Has it really been a whole week since I posted! At least I can show I did something in that time. A few days ago I decided I really needed another bag to hold some of my knitting so I whipped up this little one. The pattern is basically the "Artsy Clutch" from Bend the Rules Sewing but I made this one a bit bigger. It finished up at 10" wide by 11½" tall and holds a sock in pr...

Yoga Mat Bag

The gym I go to recently stopped providing mats for floor classes and I was finally forced to buy my own. I wasn't too excited about the prospect of having to carry around something so bulky twice a week but I did like the idea of getting to make my own mat bag.

I used the pattern from Simple Sewing by Lotta Jansdotter but left off the cell phone pocket (I don't have a cell pho...

Meet my new purse. Isn't she pretty? And so springy with her big green pleats.

I've been planning out this project for well over a month and really wanted to have it done before we went on vacation. I spent almost all of last weekend sewing together rectangles, picking out and correcting seams, and contemplating edge finishes and closures. I don't think I&#...

A Day in the Park

Shelley — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 02:43:38 +0100

I don't know what it is about this heat but it makes me really want to sew. I spent Friday night and half of Saturday working on this bag. It's the Day in the Park Backpack Tote by Liesl Gibson (look for it on the left in the sidebar of her blog). I got the pattern and hardware kit last summer through Purl Soho but only recently collected the rest of the stuff I needed to make it. T...

A Winter Purse

Shelley — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 06:48:05 +0100

I should have been working on my Sassy Apron Swap apron last night ... or folding the laundry ... or emptying the dishwasher ... but instead I was making a handbag. The Charming Handbag from Bend-The-Rules Sewing to be specific. I thought it was cute the first time I saw it and it only got cuter when I saw all the wonderful versions people have made up.

This is my new d...

Katy, Liette and I are doing a Booga Bag Knit-A-Long - yesterday we met in the pub for some knitting and dessert. This has been a long awaited project - Katy had to come back from school, I had to get married, Liette had to find her needles - and now that we’re started we are just whippingalong. After just one evening of knitting (and a few minutes after we finis...
