Sewing tools /toys!

10 years ago

last modified: 10 years ago

While I can't walk any distance yet...I can sew to my hearts content while recovering from my foot surgery. Last year at retreat I was fortunate in the Chinese gift exchange to select the Laura Burch sewing tote. This inspired me to use my Laura Burch fabric and make a matching mat/ruler tote. It's way over engineered as I could not find my pattern so ...it's well sewn shall we say.

Also Thank you Teresa ...your sewing caddy at retreat inspired me to finally make myself one....love it! So nice to have all the tools in one spot!

I could get used to not working! Two more weeks of sewing fun...time to finish another project!

happy sewing!
