Ooh, look I found the fabric I went looking for.
All I accomplished with the fabric on Friday night was to cut the pieces required and then I reverted to sitting on the couch.
I pulled out this project too. The fabric and pattern were collected back in 2009. It is true I have pondered the instructions (all 45 pages of them) on a number of occasions since the purchases were made, but I am still missing some of the important bits required to get this lovely useful bag together.
I may have just the excuse looming in the not too distant future to use this type of bag so I need to collect the remainder of the requirements to get construction under way. It was lovely reacquainting myself with this array of Ink and Spindle fabrics and I am looking forward to getting back to my sewing machine regularly.
There was a little knitting last night and today at my local knit group, but I think you've probably all seen those two socks often enough lately. I can report though that the burgundy sock has progressed to the foot and the purple sock going in the opposite direction is up to the leg.
When I got back from socialising this afternoon I turned on Nomee for a little run through. Since the last time I used her, about a year ago, she has spent a little time visiting first 'the old people' and then the sewing machine doctor. All's good and she's quite positively purring again. I started with something small and it is almost done, just some finishing touches to add. I will have evidence soon.
Thanks Cheryll for having us round, it's so much fun to create with friends.
Wishing you all a creative Sunday.

Lovely fabrics and it looks like you have some lovely projects in mind!
Finding is good!!! Thanks for stopping by at FNwF... see you next month! :)
It sounds like a nice FNwF and I love your new fabric.
oooh I'll be eagerly waiting to see what Nomee has been working on...
Isn't it wonderful to sew and chat and be around like minded friends. We are very lucky! Love your fabrics and I also love that Sleepover Bag.. We saw it in the shop at Warwick on our retreat and I was "this close" to buying it. She has it made up and in the flesh in the shop and it is even more wonderful in real life!!! I hope you get the rest of the things you need for it and get the time to make it. I will be very jealous ha ha. Have a lovely weekend xx
