River is finished
All done and very fluffy and soft.
There was ALOT of swearing and finger pricking happening yesterday with this. I will be very glad to finish it. It’s the most fiddly bit of sewing I’ve done in yonks. I will do things very differently next time I make this bag. It’s a fabulous shape but I’ve ended up having to topstitch the edge of the exterior then do the same to the lining because the bag is too stiff to sew them together on the machine. There was some blood shed when I sewed the flower on the front and I wished I’d added another petal. I know odd numbers look better but it seems to want to fill out a bit more. All that needs to be done is slipstitch the lining on when I’m feeling patient! But not today folks! :-)
Also done, this may become a Christmas present………
I love the purses you make! I wish I could sew like that.
I like your river, what arent you happy with?
It’s REALLY big (check the dimensions in previous post), a bit thick and too fluffy. More like an afghan, so I’ll probably keep in by the couch for chilly evenings. You can sew like that too. Just takes oodles of patience & perseverance, which you clearly have as you’ve knitted heaps of stuff.
You HAVE been busy! Your bag looks fab as does River and the scarf.
