A mini tour through some of the places @flipflopfa A mini tour through some of the places @flipflopfabricshop and I went today: Chapel Porth beach (with very nice and helpful @nationaltrust carpark attendant) St Agnes, which had a very colourfully decorated Miners and Mechanics Institute (for no apparent reason) and finally Perranporth beach, which was actually pretty busy, but everyone was nicely socially distanced
Hands up all who guessed that this was where Satur Hands up all who guessed that this was where Saturday's secret sewing was going! With the whole having my work laptop at home thing going on these days, I needed another laptop bag, and when I noticed the roll of 5 different colours of this home dec weight fabric that I'd picked up in Austria 3 years ago I suddenly wanted to use them all (because why not? The back, which you can't see, is a dark pink like in the piping on the flap) Given that I was going bright, I just knew that one of @sewquirky 's patterns needed to find a home on the front, so enter #frankiethefrenchie who is made from my Alison Glass hoard, along with some Tula Pink bias binding that I made into piping cover, a couple of leather snaps from @rosegardenpatchwork and leather strapping from an eBay shop. The lining is a wide variety from my Echino stash, the pockets of which are a few pics back in my feed. . . . . . . . #bagmaking #bag #bags #sewing #sewcialist #lovesewing #lovebagmaking #isew #sewist #sewingblogger #bagblogger #blogger #aurifil #littlestthistlepattern

Sometimes you need to spoil yourself and break out Sometimes you need to spoil yourself and break out the good stuff when making things. I'm trying to get into the habit of using the stash and not just hiding it away, so this is part of the lining of a bag that will use lots of the good stuff (and will be quite bright...) . . . . . . . #bagmaking #bag #bags #sewing #sewcialist #lovesewing #lovebagmaking #isew #sewist #sewingblogger #bagblogger #blogger #aurifil #littlestthistlepattern
