Bags, bags and more bags

My husband is terrified of hearing the word "bag". Everytime i mention the word bag, first response is dont tell me u are getting more bags. He thinks i have too many bags for all different purpose (sometimes the same) and gets very frustrated if i asked him to look for something in my bag. Of course men can never find anything in a woman's bag.

Took 2 sewing classes for beginner the past 2 weeks and guess what we made? hehe BAGS

This is my first sewing class project it's a little pouch. Stitches that i learned from making this pouch is bottonhole, sewing button, blind hem stich, overcast. I've learnt a pretty tricky technique on how to fold the fabric to make blind hem stitch. Now i know how to alter the hems. :)


This is a project for my 2nd sewing class it's an evening purse. The lady didnt teach us how to put a lining though :( In this class I learned how to do those embroidery stiches using wing needle (a thick fat one that punches bigger holes) and twin needle (i broke 2 and not too excitied with this needle). Also found out it's much easier to do embroidery or applique with a stabiliser (a piece of paper fibre type of material). And 1 last thing, i know how to sew a zip now with the proper foot woohoo! This leads to making of more bags- Wet bags!

Wet bags

I've made 3 wetbags so far. 2 with zips on the top end and another with zip on the top front.

Now i dont have to worry the kids' bottle leak and wet my whole bag. I put them all in a wetbag

This is how it look from inside. i do a french seam for my wetbags. Some mums told me this prevent wicking. Well we just have to see how well it works.
