Short and Sweet

   

Here is another little zippered bag I made over the weekend. The fabric is one of my favorites. I have so little of it left I am trying to stretch it out over as many projects as I can. This one is lined with white fabric and clear vinyl. This way the make-up spills will not ruin the fabric. I was tough to line up the vinyl and make it lay flat, since it can't really be ironed.  And I think the pouch will look better once it is filled up with some m.a.c., another obsession of mine.

I am still one my sewing kick, I am getting ready to start my first quilt and work on my pink lemonade apron.  I love my sewing machine.

In other news Daniel is traveling for the company. I don't know which was worse news: "Honey I will gone for 12 days" or "I am taking the digital camera." Hopefully I can make due without him, oh ya and borrow the camera from work. Does anyone have any recommendations for "must sees" in Dulles and surrounding areas. I know he has his heart set on an Orioles game.

I am loving the makeup bags you made!! You are very talented. I am thinking of getting a sewing machine and starting back up again, only been 12 years or so since I have put the sewing machine away. I am wanting to get a new sewing machine, any suggestions on a spiffy new model?
I have an old "Brother" machine that is super simple.
I would like to try my hand at making clothes, curtains, and quilts.

Hey!!! That's so cool. You said the inside was lined with white fabric AND vinyl? I tried adding vinyl once, but on the outside and it became too thick to sew. Did you just sew it with the machine? I have to try!
