Adorbs. You’ve captured the feelings of that first bag challenge. The second one (if any hope remains in your soul) always goes so much better.

Happy Birthday! You gave all of us a gift by showing your very real and funny self. You’re going to love using those keepers and you’ve got a sewing adventure to look back on!

I'm rolling. I literally just finished making the regular project keeper yesterday, after not sewing for at least 10 years. It took me three days! Of course, I Frankensteined it out of remnants for my first go, but even then, I kept remaking the components. My bindings look wonky, my bobbin holders are not in a perfect grid, but they work. Now I am itching to make another but want to add more bobbin holders. Maybe turn it into a tri-fold keeper? IDK. In any case, thank you for this video. I lost my mind more than once with this project, but am really glad I made it.

I'm presently stitching Helping in the Coneflowers for a friend and I'm changing the dog into a collie...will have to show you when done. Cheers

@susanowen1709 Ай бұрын

"...but I'm just going to keep going until this is done." That is the Devil whispering in your ear, and will lead to frustration, crooked seams, and thread jams (yes, the machine KNOWS and will misbehave at the worst possible times). Always take a break & have a stretch, a snack, and a Refreshing Beverage™at regular intervals. Your finished keepers might not be perfect, but they are cute & function the way they should, so I'd call that a success.

Happy birthday. Your Aida story reminded me of a Biscornu I stitched. The fabric was woven weird and I kept recounting. I now have a donkey Bisrectangle. I can smugly say it wasn't my fault. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for. :(. have a great day.

Thx for the laughs, in a good way. This reminded me of when I first started sewing. My husband had a sewing machine, he taught me how to use it. I went thru so much scrap fabrics, it was fun. I love watching videos than reading for instructions - makes more sense. I’ve finished stitching into pillows, banners, and bell pulls. I also made my own envelope style project bags. I love sewing now…. Yes, it’s easier and things get made faster. Loved watching you go through the struggles and how honest you were about it.

It is so hot and humid and I was thinking how much you would enjoy the sweaty stitching too!! I have also purchased patterns to make a similar stitching case and am feeling like just cutting everything out is going to be the hardest part!!! I have discovered sparkle and printed vinyls that I love and are easier to see. I have used them on project bags. You have the inspired me to give it a go!
