It all started last Thursday. I've recently joined a Woolgathering group in Sandbach where me and my lovely Mum can enjoy a night in the company of some lovely, like-minded, ladies who enjoy, crafting with wool, drinking tea, eating cake, having a good natter and sharing plenty of laughter. Last Thursday was a yarn swap night where you can bring all those craft supplies, books and magazines that have been lingering in a cupboard, unloved, and offer them up for a new home and in return, you get the chance to re-home something new to you.
There was a remnant of some white and navy blue striped material that was needing to be loved and made into something. I brought this home with the idea that I would make some zippy project bags for my various knitting projects. I'd seen blogs and podcasts of other crafty goddesses making these project bags and I wanted in.
I nipped over to a local patchwork and quilting shop that has a fabulous choice of material that would be perfect for the linings of my bags. I also needed some zips and sewing thread. With my happy bag of supplies I couldn't wait to get started.
I spent the rest of the day happily engrossed in my sewing, something I haven't done for a long, long time. I finally finished around eight o'clock in the evening, but I can safely say I'm so pleased with the results and I can't wait to fill them with my knitting projects.
Hope you too are enjoying the Easter break, and doing something blissful.
Till next time...
