One Project A Month:
For this month's OPAM, I've finished the second shoulder bag I started a few weeks ago, not without difficulties to make as I've used up some Sanderson Linen I had left from shortening some curtains so it was hard to stitch through at times and the lining didn't fit right, again! So I kept leaving it and made another bag in the meantime ( the cat fabric shoulder bag- see last post) anyway I finished it last night and if you follow me on facebook, twitter or Pinterest you will already have seen some photo's but here are some more...
I changed the colour of the trim from green to burgundy fabric as I think this looks better....
and the lovely floral lining really matches the fabric...
and I found some vintage brown velvet buttons from my button tin...
and all finished! I'm really pleased with this bag, it has turned out better than I thought it would.
I'm hoping that by the time I've made up the other seven bags, that I've got the lining problem sorted! It is now listed for sale on my website.
Blogging:
Today is also my 4 year blogaversay! Where has four years just gone? thanks to some of you who have been here from the beginning, others have come and gone and hello to any new followers!
Anyway the other week was 300 posts and now I've got 51 followers too! So to say 'thanks for reading' I did a giveaway for the first shoulder bag I made (yellow floral) and the closing date is today.
There were six comments from the blog, none from facebook or twitter, so thank you to Scarlet, Becky, Indigo Blue, Mad Hatter, Smilernpb and the Crafty Trundler for taking the time to leave a comment ....
