I have been sewing this bag with two of my friends for 3 days. Jan has made two, Judy has made four, and now that it's finished I never want to make another! I nearly bust my machine; at one stage you are sewing through about 10 layers.
That said, it is a super bag, compact, useful and fits anything I would need to go to classes or stitching groups.
The back of the bag sits up and the front lays out open like a tray. In between the zipped pockets are spaces for stuff like scissors. The triangular pouch is for threads and scraps - it folds flat.
And there's even a wee pocket for my craft specs.
Thanks Jan and Judy, I would never have figured it out using the instructions alone. Now that it's finished, I'm glad I made it, but I still won't ever make another!

The challenge at Incy Wincy Designs is a photo inspiration: incywincydesigns check it out now!
I made the background using Distress Oxide Inks in four colours sponged on, then blended, then misted until I had the right amount of speckle and blotch. The image is coloured with Copics with lots of shading and blending. It is then die cut with some parts of the image cut out first and hung over the die. And of course you need stars if you're doing some dreaming; the stars are clear iridescent so only show up in certain lights.

Sometimes when you're sitting outside on a summer day, little winged things come to where you are. Have you ever wondered where they came from and where they're going? Do they find us strange? Do they check us out to see what we are? Maybe that's why they come for a visit!
