Linda,
Its a stand alone bag. the pattern was ok, pictures of how she actually did some of the steps would have helped. Sewing through 3 layers of the soft and stable and the fabric was probably the worst part. It was like a wrestling match!. The outside binding around the sides and bottom I was able to to use the machine to sew it on but had to hand sew to finish it which was also like a wrestling match. So it was labor intensive, but I think it turned out ok. It matches my machine mat so I suppose it was worth it. I put it away for awhile so I can appreciate it later.

Thank you, Denise! Your caddy looks GREAT! But it looks like it wasn't easy! |

Is that one of those that goes into a large purse? Or a standalone bag? What was the problem with making the bag - was the pattern not well written? I've had that happen a lot.

Happy New Year everyone! Wow have we been busy, so many wonderful things!! Ending the year, I repaired my granddaughter's backpack and made a water bottle holder for daughter #2's crutches. She will be having knee surgery soon and asked if I could make her something to carry stuff.

Today I finished my craft room. So I am ready to start on my UFO's for 2017. Are we going to have a new thread or continue with this one? I think that I do need to make a list and see where I am and what I have to complete. I have been living in a cramp space for a couple of years and then the last few months out of a suitcase. The house is done on the main floor and I can finally move in.

I used that wonderful quiet time between Christmas and New Years to write out a list of things I wanted to get done this year. While I am not going to do an entire homemade Christmas, I do hope to make one thing for each person in my family. This year is going to be my year instead. I am going to get some projects done as gifts for myself, like a lovely embroidered needle case for my sewing box. First, I am going to get my craft room turned back into my artist retreat zone.
May we all have a wonderful and productive year. I am looking forward to seeing everyone's projects.

Thank you, Judith!
Yes, Sherri....I hear you! The Homespun Christmas badge was a huge project! I was in such a mode of working, working, stitching, stitching...that when I was finally done, I really wasn't sure of what to do with myself! I've been enjoying the quiet time between Christmas and New Year's.
I have a new list going of projects for 2017 and I plan on locking myself in my sewing room this afternoon and working on some Valentine's projects that I have wanted to do for a LONG time! But this year, I am going to slow down and enjoy the process more! |

Happy New Year!!!!
I wish I had finished more projects in 2016, but in some ways I'm just glad the year is over and we get to start over!
I need to:
Finish the "carry all caddy" I started, my sis ted has given me permission to toss this one if it does not turn out, it has been a total pain in the #$%.
Girl scout day camp t-shirt quilt for may daughter.
Tree skirt needs to be quilted.
BOM blocks from 2016...
ETC
Have a great new year!!

And my last one...this baby blanket wasn't even on my radar to finish this year. I started it when we were waiting for my oldest grandson to be born...he was 5 in July! My daughter's best friend was expecting a baby boy this month and one of her favorite colors is navy blue....so I had the perfect gift to finish for her. No one in her family does handmade things and she loves them.....so I'm glad that I was able to finish it for her. |

This shawl was a real learning experience!!! But I am so happy with the way that it turned out! BTW....when the pattern says use CONTRASTING yarn to cast on, please do...! |
