I love to sew, mainly quilts and bags. I am 66, married to Fred and have one son, Matthew, who is 27. I enjoy embroidery and applique and prefer to machine piece and quilt my projects. I love my vintage Singer sewing machines especially my Featherweight 222K. I’m enjoying treadling on my 201K Singer and I collect Miniature Sewing Machines and currently have three Essex , one Singer 20, one Singer 40, two Vulcan Miniatures and my latest, a Grain. My love of sewing I believe comes from my Grandmother - I still have the drawings she made for me to embroider on tea towels many many years ago!

ZIP IT UP!





I've just finished making the Toiletries Pouch from the
{Make} A Bag Sew Along

Quite happy with how it turned out and certainly will make more of these!

They would make nice gifts for some of my sewing friends..... a handy bag to store a Rotary Cutter, spare blades etc etc

Hope you're having a super day!

  2. This looks fabulous. I'm having toiletry bag envy. Actually I'm a dunce at bags fullstop ( I suspect I have mentioned this before )

    I need to learn to get over my bag o phobia.

    I really need to learn how to sew a zip but the truth is they scare the crud out of me. I have zip-phobia too.

  3. Helen, It looks great and you did an wonderful job creating the patchwork. I love it. You should have a giveaway with one of these. Mine went really well when I had one for a small pouch like this! Steph

  7. The bag is so cute. I haven't tried a zipper in a small bag yet. I love the ballerina t-shirt too.
