[ im gonna try and make this short and sweet for now because i spent all last night sewing wool and vinyl, needless to say my fingertips feel raw and bruised, and i walked to the bus this morning, with what at first seemed like a lightish load, not so much after a mile, but hey gotta work off all the christmas cookies i plan on eating tonight and tomorrow]
BUT i finally finished my christmas sewing project from last year.hah. yep.
but hey at least i finished! and with one day to spare! woooooo
so i will post the pic now, it still needs some touch ups, but im pretty pleased with the end product so far.
Initially, last year, i was going to use a pattern i had gotten from threads magazine, but couldnt find it, so i drafted my own, I had the picture from the magazine, and adapted it to what supplies I had.
I loveeee that wool fabric, and the lining is really pretty too. The wool I had bought last year on clearance at Loraines in pawtucket, gotta love the bargin loft. The vinyl i had left over from my accessory design class a few years back, and the lining was from the fabric i had bought for a shirt i made it pattern generation 1? i think, i know it was sophmore year, and i can picture the shirt haha. The D rings i had bought last year, so the only thing i still need is the magnet part for the strap over the top, and more needles, that vinyl reeked havoc on my old piece of a machine, i thought big bertha was gonna quit on me, it was a christmas miracle though.
and now i am going to stop typing b/c my finger tips hurt, my fingernails also did not make it out alive.rip pretty nails.
but it was worth it :)
Happy Holidays everyone!
