I used embroidery patterns from the new book I got a couple weeks ago. I can't say I'm in love with embroidery. I'm a quick-crafter and like to get projects done fast. Embroidery involves a lot of time and patience. Don't get me wrong, I still like embroidery, but just don't think I will be adding embroidery to every single thing I do.
The tutorial is over at Noodlehead and is a pretty quick project. The tutorial uses bias tape for the edges but I really liked the design of my lining, so I just folded that over and used that instead. I wasn't going to use grommets either, but after this near craft fail I had to: 
Yes, that is a giant hole in my bag if you're wondering. I bought these really cute brass button-fasteners that I was going to use in place of the grommets. Then spent over an hour trying to figure out how to use them. The instructions were in Japanese (again, which I do not speak) and after multiple attempts at using them, I decided to just buy the grommets.
Craft fail adverted, for now. It's done, hooray!
so freaking cute!!! you are a rockstar!

I can't get over this. I'm in the north of Sweden, where pickled herring comes from, although I'm a vegetarian. My mum is too but a few years ago she would sometimes make an exception once a year and have pickled herring.
I do indeed love pickled herring - creamed, wine and mustard herring are my favs! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you're living in northern sweden, what city? I studied in Jonkoping (sorry i can't get the "o" to have the dots above on this computer) back in college. I miss Sweden!!
