I finished up Jenna's wallet last night, so now that's a set complete, ready to wrap and post. I decided to try the sew-in magnetic closure on this one and was really happy with the way it sat. Also tweaked the credit card holder slightly. You may be able to see it peaking out of one of the zippered compartments.
Next on the list ready to mail out is this one, the Bow Bag, which Nancy was kind enough to send me the pattern for.
After making this one I've decided to make one for myself with slightly longer handles, and I'll use Bloom's handle method and make some alterations to the pockets on the inside so everything doesn't bounce around.
Last bag is Miss Hollie's, the bags finished, I just need to work out how I'm going to do a shaggy wallet and still have it nicely finished.
I did want to make a start on the sweet little angel that Kim sent me, but after ferreting around in my fabric drawers I've discovered I don't have any checks or plaids. Darn that will have to wait until the weekend, when I can shop. So now there's the dilemma of what to stitch now. Do I start my bag or perhaps prepare the applique for the fabric postcards, or start one of the next Christmas gifts? Decisions, decisions.
I received an email from Margaret the day before yesterday revealing who my 4 seasons swap partner is, so that's something else to think about. Before I give myself a headache I think I'll find something cool to drink and work out what needs to be done next.
