Yay! I finished Niece1's #BirdWatchingBag about a month early! (Now I just need to make sure I don't forget to mail it, lol!) I still have a few tools to add to it that aren't pictured, but it's the perfect size to hold the monocular we got her along with a water bottle.
I used the H2O 2Go Sling pattern by LindsHandmade and printed it at 115% size and reversed the clips & triangle rings, so it has the option of being clipped to something besides the strap. I mostly followed the instructions as they're written though. I also used 1" nylon seat-belting for the strap, which I really like! I'm glad I got some for my stash in grey and black as well.
I might move the tag (it ended up being too low on the pocket), but I haven't decided if it bothers me enough to mess with it.
I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild
I started cutting all the edges while Janet was away yesterday morning. When she got back after lunch, she pulled out a roller and started filling in. I'll put a pic below in the comments. #SewingStudioBuild
We broke for lunch and then came back with a portal ac unit plugged in to an extention cord from the house. Can't wait until they finished hooking up all the electrical and we have the mini split cooling the room for us - it was stupid humid today! #SewingStudioBuild
More on the Michael's purchase of JoAnn. "Ever-expanding" plus it went on to say they will be carrying sewing machines, notions, and thread in stores. And there was a 50% off one item coupon - let me know if any of you need that.
I'm kind of surprised I have to sign up for emails (not sure if I want to yet) considering how many companies sell email lists.
I finally finished the patchwork jeans! @SewBrooke , the elastic in the waistband suggestion worked brilliantly. I ended up taking it as close to the button/buttonholes as I could, because the waistband I originally picked had the buttons on the wrong side and I had to piece it together/the second waistband was also collapsed in from wear. I really don’t know why, I checked against all of my jeans and I did put the fly on the correct side! Anyway, it’s done, and I’ll be happy to come up with a project that takes much less time. After I clean up the leftover bits— it looks like I used 7 pairs of jeans/shorts, so I have a lot of tops and leftover leg/waistband scraps!
