Inside Day!

Hello & happy Friday to my Bloggy Buddies! I hope you've had a great week. Mine has been a little busy (if I find my week ISN'T busy theses days, I start to worry that I've forgotten something! Tee! Hee! Hee!) but today I'm having an inside day, with my trusty Husqui keeping me company. :0) The wind here on top of our 'hill' today is HORRIBLE! With gusts of up to 45 km/hr & clouds of dust blowing from our country's drought-stricken western areas, I decided the doors were staying shut & it was a good excuse for a sewing day ... As though I really NEED an excuse! :0)

Now, all my Christmas mad friends have started torturing me with blog & Facebook posts counting down to Christmas (EEK! Only 32 more sleeps! ) so I decided it was time to start making a few bits & bobs to go in the giftie box. Some time ago I pinned a free tutorial from HERE on my Pinterest board to make a carry bag for a wine bottle, so today I decided to have a go at making it. There MAY have been a bit of muttering & swearing along the way & the pattern says to do things a little differently to how I would have, but the result is ...



Ta da! A wine carry bag that looks like it's supposed to, was made from fabrics in my stash & didn't take too long to make. I think I'll make a few more of these to tuck away for gifties. Oh ... And the box ... Well ... Apparently some wine from our favourite cellar door tasting followed us home from the Adelaide Hills! Tee! Hee! Hee!

Well ... That's been my morning of hiding from the nasty wind, so I think I've earned some lunch. Whatever you're up to, I hope you have a fabulous weekend. Til next time ...

BOOZY BEAR HUGS!

CHEERS!

Well done! I made one for a friend’s birthday when the pattern first came out. There were a few mutterings from me too, as it was a bit fiddly. I used some wine themed fabric which looked OK. I’m happy to report that she still uses the bag.
