I LOVE the spool of thread! I've been thinking of getting some thread on my arm near my scissors. 

  Well, DUH!  Who the he-double hockey sticks would want their hair cut with a pair of scissors like that???!!!!  (P.S.  I like the tat, and so does my daughter!)

Thanks!

LOL That's what I say. But I bet there were plenty of people out there whose moms cut their hair with this exact pair of scissors. 

Most people think I'm a hairdresser, and I have to explain that I'm a seamstress instead. 

Thanks guys!

That's really nice! I've actually seen a photo of a girl who had the f-stops tattoo'd on her back, it was really beautiful! 

A gorgeous bag!

I have this and the weekender patterns waiting to go as soon as I find the 'right' fabric to make them with. I want them to be a matching set to take on holiday etc. although from reading posts on here neither of them are really easy bags to make, maybe I should go for something a little easier until I have more experience 

It's not difficult to make, but will take some time if you're not too experienced. The problems I experienced with this bag mostly were with the cording. It's not hard to do, but the directions tell you to cut your bias strips at an inch and a half, if I were you I'd do it at 2 inches. The zipper is much easier to put into this bag than others that I've done, probably because of the size of the opening. But other than the bias strips, it's really not that hard.


LOL I originally posted this on the clothing board. But the mod moved it for me.

lol Zippers aren't hard, they just take practice. They still intimidate me, if I knew someone who would put them in for me for free I would totally use them! 

I would recommend probably 8-10 inches total to make it comfortable to carry on your shoulder. Although, I suppose it depends more on how big you are. I'm not skinny so usually to get comfortably up on my shoulder I need just a bit more space.
