Raining!!!! very low cloud so I can not even see the river so it looks like it is here to stay for the day. This morning I have my Opp Shop work my morning of laughter, best medicine in the world for all that ails you???????
Yesterday the wet weather stayed all day so I managed with the rain and watching the Tour De France last night to get a lot done on my Tieshoulder-bags!!!! I managed to complete the front and back of the Mini log-cabin bag
Front of Mini log-cabin bag
Back of Mini log-cabin bag
During the day I completed the back of the bag for my Evening dress Tieshoulder-bag!!!!!!
Front and back of a Tieshoulder-bag to be!!!!!!!
Front and back are complete with Bias binding added ready for the tie’s to be added as a gusset and the shoulder ties.
Back of black evening top Tieshoulderbag, made form part of 100% silk obi which is the formal wide belt worn over the dress Kimono
Back of this bag is made form an old Obi which is the formal wide belt worn when going to a social function. I even managed to quilt the back and bind it with a satin black bias, now I just need to finish hand sewing the bias on and I can add the tie gusset and shoulder ties and another one finished. I must admit that I worked most of the day on this back roughly10 hrs so to make a bag takes me several days!!!!! All the hand sewing of the bias and attaching the ties was done last night while I watched the Tour De France from 10pm till 1.30am!!!!!!!!!!
