As Promised~

...or Bags, A Bracelet, and Bias. Not necessarily in that order.



On a personal note:  One of my 'things' is that I do not like to wear sleeveless tops because my upper arms are flabby.  Today was rather warm and as I was looking for an appropriate top I spied my darling pink flowered ruffled and sleeveless Zelda. Honey, I put her on and out the door I went... flabby arms and all! I want to encourage you, my dear sister, to confront your fears. I am getting to the point where I truly think, "Who gives a sheet?" and then wear what I want.

For all of the crafts I have mastered I can not seem to make bias binding. I tried the old fashioned 'cut strips and sew them to together method" and the newer "continuous binding" method. I have gotten some successful inches but that is about it!

Someone that loves me offered to make me some so I did send her some fabric. Bless you, Twin Sheet! In the meantime I bought some single fold bias tape and searched You Tube for answers. The tape is white and I felt it might be too stark for the tunic I am making so I sewed it to the right side of the fabric and flipped it to the back. I am loving it!



Here is a bracelet that I made years ago and still love. Each earring is a leaf and a tiny ladybug.



Some of the bags I made:






 Feel free to leave me a comment and share what you have made besides clothing and/or what fear you have.


Yours,
