Knitting Project Bag

I made a knitting bag today! I really only have one sewn project bag that my mom made for me. It is pretty small. Good for socks etc. i have been working on my vortex cowl which means 2 balls of yarn. I have been keeping it in a paper bag which keeps ripping as you might imagine. So i made this free pattern by very shannon. www.veryshannon.com/blog/2013/04/free-tutorial-reversible-sock-knitting.html

Here is the lining. I like that you can use scraps. I also added a pocket which may not be super functional, but oh well.

I'm so happy it turned out so well! The outer fabric is a batik I got at fabric depot. I cant wait to make more and already have some fabric cut for the next one but I do not have any interfacing and im not sure how floppy it would be.  I bought yarn today for two upcoming sock projects. I will need lots of project bags! 

Hopefully tomorrow I will get some curtains finished for our house. 

Curtains!!

Howdy, I have not posted about christmas gifts I made... Maybe someday I will get to that. 

I have a new-to-me phone! So better picture taking is in my future! Hopefully this will help my blog look better and i may even post a little more frequently. We'll see!

This is just a quick post about curtains I am making for our new house. 

Check out these ducks. We plan to put these in the master bathroom. Found this at JoAnns.

A sweet pattern to go in our teal & cream room. (Two of the bedrooms have molding halfway up the wall). From Fabric Depot.

This is a small print to go in the Lincoln Lattice Green room (green on the bottom, a light gray is on the upper wall of that room.) From Fabric Depot.

I am ironing and hopefully starting to sew today. This morning we went shopping for bedroom curtain fabric but only brought home a few samples: 

Our bedroom walls are a light green.

A note about curtain rods- a lot are ugly or spendy. I got these small ones on sale at Jo Ann fabrics and we got some basic white ones from Ikea. We hope to do double rod -sheers & regular curtains on our two larger windows. 

Okay. Time to get sewing!

PS: Living room curtains??? Hard decisions to make!
