I made something!

I’ve been receiving these monthly subscription boxes for quite some time now - and have made anout a handful of the projects.. which is why, I guess, I have so much «reserved» fabric laying around. 

2024 seems to be the year for making some of these (instead of working on my neverending queue of ufo’s) and one of the last projects I finished was this bag. 

It came as an instruction and a quilt-as-you-go pattern printed on a stabiliser «fabric». I wanted to use the fabric which came along in the box on the other project that was included, so I looked in my nox of leftovers and found quite a few pieces from two different fabric lines that went pretty well together, and by including some pieces of other fabric (which I’ve been saving for something special) I had everything I needed. 



Sewing the binding on the top of the bag was a little difficult as the bag was occupied as soon as I put it down beside me on the couch.. 



But I was able to finish the binding and sew the handles on by bribing Marshmallow out of the bag. 
Taking a picure of the finished bag, on the other hand, resulted in the cat being back im the bag.. 



After a rather grey winter the first sightings of blue sky from my home office/sewing spot was very welcomed. Since then we’ve had a relaps of snow at least four times - sneakers and thin coates one day, showelling snow the next.. 

I hope the rest of the year will continue in this crafty lane. 🤞🏻
