The one where I haven't sewn for a while

It seems like a long time since I got to sew something, and it seems my subconscious found a way to cope with that!

I took my (main) machine in for a service, and while I was there I accidentally bought some fabric - who knew there was a danger of such a thing!

And yesterday, after the family learning class I popped into the shops in Windsor and kind of drifted towards C&H fabrics, where I remembered I had a gift card from the parents when I left school . . . ooops, seventeen fat quarters later I have NO gift card left!!!!  But lots of yummy solids!!!


Today I used some of them and made myself a triple zipped pouch - it made me very happy!!


When will I next get time to sew?

  2. That purchase doesn't actually count - you traded in your machine and they gave you fabric - it seems like they got the better end of the deal, really! I bet if you ask nicely they'll give it back to you shortly ... it may cost you a few dollars in ransom but it'll be worth it ;) Very pretty triple zip - that's fun fabric, and I love the tri-coloured zips :D

  3. I start working 7days/week next week so I commiserate with you about time to sew. And when I do have a chance, what I manage to make makes me deliriously happy. Fabric retail therapy is right up there as well.

  4. some lovely fabrics you have there and the pouch will be so useful. Shame I cannot share all the spare time I have with you, being retired it is hard to fill the days especially as I am usually up by 5am

  7. Your purse looks great and I'm not sure the fabric buying was an accident - it sounds like fate! Those fabrics were just meant to go home with you :)
