Back to sewing classes

So the kids have been back to school for almost a month now, I went back to my dance classes last week...there is just one class left now: sewing class!!

They have started last weekend but I could not go because I had already planned for some friends to visit from the UK and there was no way I would have missed them.

For the last two years I have been transporting my sewing machine in its original box: not practical as it was big and had no handles.

With the move over the summer and the lack of space in the new flat, I had to throw away some stuff and that included the sewing machine box.

This was a good thing as it finally forced me to make a project I have been putting off for well, two years!

I found a pattern via Google on a blog called Les Chiffonneries du chat. I altered the pattern a bit though, to my likings.

Instead of two zips, I used one long one. I also added an outside pocket to it and put the handles outside so they could be visible and they would contrast with the bag's colour.

And another first for me!!!!
