Current and Proposed Projects

Howdy

I will, I will, I will finish the duffles.  There were actually 4 to do and one is done. One is half done, another is cut out and waiting,  I can't remember about #4.



One on the right is not finished, No lining.









See.






But the one on the left is complete.





I had trouble with the piping on the ends of the bags. Perhaps practice is what I need.  Piping does add a certain je ne sais pas to the duffles. Also to other things.



I think when the lining is added to the bag on left. it will help smooth out the wrinkly piping.




I found the pattern as a tutorial from SewCanDo by way of Sew She Can.  I changed the pattern a bit.
#1  I found that lining the straps with the same fleece as the bag made them too difficult to turn right side out.  I left the fleece out of the straps.  A lighter interfacing though might make them less floppy.
#2 I had to change the way I added the zipper because when I did it like the photo, it didn't work.  So I looked at the photo taken after the zip was sewn in and worked backwards.
Otherwise I think they are cute.  So hoping to finish all by Thanksgiving.

I have some spinning to do.  Well, actually, plying.  The spinning's complete.  Oops, what I should have said is, 'some' spinning is done.




This one is plied.  It's called Salsa Caliente.  



The one I need to ply is below. However, I have forgotten it's name.







It's all ready, I just need to do it.



Weaving.   Finally got the new warp tied on to the old warp.  New experience for me.  It worked!




It's tied on but not beamed.  I have no photo of that.  
What I have is a picture of the start of a new set of towels.


This was meant to be a  more sagey green that this or maybe just a deeper hue.  It's a Finnish twill pattern.

There are soooooooooooooooo many more projects in my world to be completed. These have been 5 of them.

May God make His Face to shine upon you and give you peace.
