Random {Sewing} Friday

|

I have been sewing on a variety of things this week. First, a bag pattern that has been in the works for a long time. I have made this messenger bag twice before, this time will be for the pattern. Hopefully it will be finished soon. (More on that in the future!) I am really loving how it is turning out!

This is how it looks currently, almost finished. It is made with Enchant by Cinderberry Stitches. {If you haven’t visited her website you are really missing out on a lot of cuteness}. Such a cute line of fabric, I think perfect for this bag. I am trying to decide on the binding. Maybe use another fabric altogether or stay with the same line, decisions, decisions, decisions.

Speaking of bag patterns. You will want to go see Sew Bitter Sweet Designs, our Lucy hobo bag is on their blog today, she reviewed the pattern for us. I love this version. It is so fun to see our patterns made and see the fabric combinations used. Thank you Melissa!

Easter-basket

Also, I made a cute little Easter basket using Amy’s tutorial. {This would be the moment I realized I took this photo without dusting!} Amy has the cutest projects and ideas on her blog. This little basket is so cute and really quick to make. I love making little things that are not only cute but quick to finish, especially while I am making something that takes more time. Easter is coming and not that far away either. If I get started now I might just be able to make some more little baskets for all those cute little girls in my family.

My granny square quilt has borders. What do you think? I like it but I hope it doesn’t take away from the granny squares that I love! More decisions!

I think I have been random enough for now. I have a lot of sewing to do today that I should get back to. But before I say goodbye, I want to remind everyone that we are having a giveaway on our blog that ends tonight. Enter if you have not yet and tell a friend since we have 2 sets to give away.
