I do promise I have been working on my
Red Velvet DIY dress-up course! I just haven't posted any pictures in a while. So for your viewing pleasure here are projects two and three from my course.
Project two: Magazine tote

The inside of this bag is fully lined too, its sky blue. I did mean to get an picture of the inside but I forgot, sorry folks. But here is an action shot just for you all!

Project three - Make-Up Bag

The make-up bag didn't go as well as I hoped - the lining got all kind of messed up and I had to cut it out. But I'm ok with this, as two sewers I admire -
Ria and
Meg have told me that sometimes sewing projects get a little messed up. So I can deal with it, I won't get all broken hearted. Plus I am kind of proud of myself because I managed to do this!

Yes! I put a zipper in! I am currently using this little make up bag to carry about a few of my sewing bits and pieces. In particular my measuring tape which I always seem to lose.
I am planning on trying this project one more time and this time I am determined to make a fully lined make-up bag. I have all the materials sorted and this brings me to my September challenge!

If you have a look over at
the citybirds nest you will see that the lovely CB has created a challenge that even a novice sewer like me can complete. You simply have to sew each and every day in September - it doesn't matter if its five minutes or five hours a day. With this in mind - I am off to cut out the pieces for make-up bag version 2.0! Have a great night everyone.
