TIP OF THE WEEK: WEBBING…

WHEN I WAS MAKING THOSE TOTE’S YESTERDAY I REALIZED MY TIP OF THE WEEK FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEK’S HAD TO BE ABOUT TOTE’S.

THIS WAS MY FIRST TOTE WHEN I FIRST STARTED SEWING

LOOKS OKAY FOR BEING MY FIRST BAG. TEACHER EVEN SAID IT LOL. I WASN’T HAPPY WITH IT BECAUSE THERE WAS SO MANY THINGS I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN. THERE WAS SO MANY TIP’S I WOULD HAVE APPRECIATED.

ONE BEING I WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THE HANDLE’S OUT OF FABRIC. THEY LOOK NICE AND THEY MATCH THE BODY OF THE BAG, BUT IT TAKES LONGER FOR YOU TO FINISH THE BAG AND IF YOU DIDN’T BUY ENOUGH FABRIC TO MAKE THEM THEN YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK. (I DID THAT A COUPLE OF TIMES)

SO AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF MAKING TOTE’S WITH MATCHING HANDLES I FINALLY DECIDED I NEEDED TO TRY WEBBING.

IT CUT DOWN MY BAG MAKING TIME BY ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THEY MAKE WEBBING IN SO MANY COLORS IN BOTH COTTON + NYLON. I’VE USED BOTH AND I LIKE NYLON BETTER THAN COTTON.

IF YOU HAVEN’T TRIED IT YET, TRY IT AND COME BACK AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU LIKE IT BETTER THAN MAKING THE HANDLES YOURSELF.

I USED RED FOR THE BAG THAT I AM USING RIGHT NOW
I MAY HAVE ALREADY POSTED A PICTURE
BUT HERE IT IS AGAIN LOL

I USED IT FOR ALL THE BAGS I MADE YESTERDAY. SCROLL DOWN SO YOU CAN SEE THOSE TOO.

MY NEEDLE WORK IS COMING ALONG NICELY
I’LL POST ANOTHER PICTURE LATER THIS WEEK.

    Thanks for the plug Yoyo ;F

    Your needlework looks fantastic. I haven’t done embroidery in like 13 years, but you make me wanna start again. Really good job, clean lines. Thats so hard to do. It requires so much patience.

    The patriotic bags you’re sending to that school are spiffy! And I think you should make your blog about whatever you want- if you wanna add other stuff, then go ahead!
