A whole lot of planning and not much doing
Three of my close friends have just had their birthday. All of them are still waiting on their gifts. At least I have thought about what I’ll make, even if I haven’t started yet! For Belinda:
A bag in Amy Butler “Nigella” fabric, using Jodie at Ric-Rac’s excellent one hour bag tutorial (although I do suspect that it is going to take me a little longer than one hour to make). For Rachael:
A reversible apron (I’m doing view A). I asked Rachael what she’d like me to make her, and she really, really wanted an apron! It’s so sweet to see someone so excited about an apron. And for Di:
Um, a bag. No pattern or fabric to show you yet. I’m about to test sew a pattern of Nikki’s, but haven’t chosen the fabric. It shouldn’t be too hard with my stash! And finally:
A messenger bag, for, um, me. Once I finish sewing all the gifts. The fabrics (other than the denim) are vintage.
What lucky friends you have! I love the quirky apron fabric. The Nigella fabric will look great in the Ric Rac pattern. Looks like you have a busy weekend planned.
I’m in love with that apron fabric!!! Also love the vintage bark cloth. Lots of inspiration there – I hope you find some time to use it.
I’m going to have to check out that pattern for the last one – looks great!
all great project ideas! The messenger bag may be my favorite fabrics…love the vintage!
How cool would it be to be on your birthday list. You are a generous friend lara.
Cute projects! And great blog! 🙂 I’m going to peruse for quite a while…
those fabrics are gorgeous. look forward to seeing the finished products 🙂
The bags are going to be wonderful with those fabulous fabric combinations you have picked out! They are lucky ladies!
