My Sewing, As Promised

I have pictures! Both camera batteries are now charged and ready to go, and I’ve vowed (again) to never let them both die (again). Remember the Stash n Dash bags that I was prepping for my class right before I went on vacation? I managed to finish one of the three in class, and I finished the second yesterday. Now …

Sewing Notions Case

So close, you guys. So. Close. With 30 minutes left in my sewing class last night, all I had left to do was top stitch all around my case, and add a button/button hole. Easy, right?
