Making a start

A couple of  weeks ago I was given the fabric below to turn into library bags for Network Heaven.


I am not sure how many metres there are but bear in mind that the fabric is doubled over as it was cut from the bolt.  Today was the day to make a start and cut the bags out.  Mission accomplished.


Next step is to bring out the overlocker and get them sewn up.   Progress reports will appear from time to time.

Sewing the orange blocks is happening  and an orange beanie is under way.

  


Back soon and in the meantime 

Happy sewing all
