{ for the love of sewing }

so this is my christmas slash birthday present.
these pictures were taken last january, the night i got my sewing machine.

our dining table has not seen much dinners since then.
kj and i eat our dinner in front of the telly. *gasp* don't tell our mem.

excuse the wonkiness, i'm still learning the works.
i finished a big lunchbag for kj, a journal pouch for me, and another pouch for kj's small electronics and headphone.

this is the lunchbag i made for him, and it's wide and big enough for his breadbox, fruitbox, a coffee mug, and a cup of yoghurt. a banana will fit in nicely on top too. it's made of sturdy canvas on the outside, and dotted cotton on the inside. it closes by folding the flaps to one side and tying with the ribbons from the same cotton fabric which i then sewed on the flap.

i finished all these the week we bought the machine. i've also done one big shopping bag for my mother-in-law with a patchwork of her initials, more wonky pouch bags, and a pretty tote bag for the birthday giveaway.

more sewing projects soon!
