Finished bag and 'Hearty'


My latest two crafts! The finished bag as first pictured below. Decided to change the straps... I am contemplating this as a gift for my friend, as I've seen her go a bit crazy over Cath Kidston before.

And - little Hearty! I need to practice sewing around curved edges, as you can see. His arms were also supposed to pointed upwards, not downwards. BUT, I am learning all the time :)

My lovely friend Fiona gave me a sewing tutorial yesterday, so I can now garter and pearl. It's very relaxing, and looking at some of the brilliant clothes she has made has really inspired me to give knitting a go.

I also tried sewing a zip this morning. I have given up for now as it just wasn't working. Not sure why - the zip was on the zip feeder but it just kept getting stuck. Hmmm. Very annoying!
