It's not that I've forgotten my knitting
Another sewing post. I feel rather disloyal to my knitting but I still knit every day and can't imagine sitting on the sofa of an evening without my knitting to hand however I can't talk much about my knitting at the moment as it's my Rowan Exchange gift, so I'm being secretive. I have been frantically trying to finish it inspite of other ideas on the part of the knitting, it has been causing me lots of problems and there has been fair bit of ripping but I think I'm nearing the end now, the finishing will take a bit of time but hopefully it will be a success otherwise I will be seriously panic knitting an alternative.
I have been having much sucess with my sewing though, it is lovely to see a project come together so quickly. I started this Amy Butler Madison bag last weekend, as soon as I finished the Hustle in fact, and it really didn't take long to complete. I am so glad I did this project as I have lots of ideas for my own bags but really wanted to follow a pattern to get my head around the details. This was a very straightforward pattern and taught me plenty. I didn't use a very stiff interfacing as I wanted something squashy and instead of using velcro as a closure I used this magnetic closure which was very simple to apply. I am delighted with the end result and indeed it is in use already. My next sewing project is a bag to take me to Chester Races next week, fingers crossed that it comes together in time.
