I love better days.
Had a stack of 20 medium sized totes that needed attention. I had already sewn the hems on them.
So today I sewed the straps on.
I lay them out on my sewing table, and put the strap on.......like so.
Here's a few with the straps pinned on.
Then I use my old Kenmore to sew the straps on. I have to change the thread to match.
Twenty of them. They took a while.
Then, I powered up my new Techsew sewing machine, to sew up the sides, and do the gussets on the bottom to make them square.
It took about 5 minutes to do one bag, which made me smile. Usually, the sides were tough to do on the machine, and the gussets were impossible. I ended up doing the gussets by hand.
This was unbelievably easy.
I did these two, and then the machine stopped cold.
WHAT?????
Can't anything be easy???? Ever?????
After a long phone call to Techsew support at Raphael's Sewing Center in Montreal, I discovered that there is a thread stuck in the bobbin..........and I have to remove it.
Which sounds like a job for tomorrow.
Remember Sydney's bed???
Well, today L was making some 'Sweet Bottoms' chair pads, and she made one way too small, by mistake.
I suggested that she give it to Sydney for her bed, but she adamantly said NO WAY.
She doesn't like cats. You knew that, right???
Yeah, right!!
Check this out Sydney.
L loves you. You're her favorite.
Oh, wait, that's right, you're everyone's favorite.
She has the same look on her face as I did the first time I used a duvet versus a comforter. "Heaven".
ReplyDeleteI see, "What took you so long to make it for me?" Love Sydney She is such a charmer.

If you check today`s post, she talks about bags and even inserting a zipper.
Might come in handy for a new line sometime...

Sydney just has that look.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea .. Rose is currently sleeping on a bathmat because she had a bit of an accident with her favorite pillow which now needs cleaning and replacing of the stuffing .. sigh .. that girl and her pillows will bankrupt me ... If L ever makes a too small one again, I'll happily buy it for Rose .. Syd looks so happy
