Holiday Hooking

I am teaching another course at Needles in the Hay tomorrow, 2-4pm. If you are local, and interested in learning how to rug-hook, there is still some room in the workshop! I have been working on a new festive design, as well as making up some coaster kits. I can't seem to make up enough to get my shop stocked up, but I am hoping to get that done in the next week or two!

  

I seem to have a lot of crafting happening this fall, and so far it has been great. Very busy, but a wonderful experience also! I will hopefully have a few of the kits photographed and in the shop by the end of next week, just in time for a crafty Christmas gift!

Happy Crafting friends!

From the Stash: Overnight Bag... the outcome

So I have a few photos to share from my overnight bag so far. I'm pretty excited! It turned out well :)

 

 

 

I still have to finish the lining and the handles, but with being a little under the weather this week, I didn't really have time. So I'm hoping in the next week I can finish this bag up, and sew my next from the stash project. Which I will share next week, when it is completed!

It's Friday, and I'm so happy, I'm heading in to work today, but I have tomorrow off, and I can't wait. Happy Friday Everyone!

From the Stash: Overnight Bag

So I have wanted an overnight bag for sometime, and I've searched high and low on the web to find a tutorial or pattern that I like. But to no avail. So I've decided I am going to make one. And my system might be a little different then others, but I am happy with what I've got going.

So these are a few fabrics that I bought on super sale (not intending for them to coordinate) and I really wanted to use them for something. So I've decided that I'm going to make the bag with them, and because a few of the pieces are fat quarters I had to scale the size of the bag down a little to make sure it would fit with the fabric I want to use. So I might be making a few of these in the future. Also as you can imagine I don't want to use this fabric for my first draft, so I will make a trail version with other fabric, and then depending on how it goes I am going to use this fabric for the second. And you can see the beginnings of my pattern in the background!

Sooo excited. I will be sure to share updates on this as I make progress. :) I'm in Orillia for the weekend, visiting my parents. How are your weekend plans shaping up?
