College Bag Commission

The bag is finished at last - it was hard work with my little "Bernina" but so much fun. The pressure foot would just not want to lift high enough.....All you needlewomen will get a cold sweat, remembering many a broken needle, sorry for reminding you!

I'm afraid that I can not yet show you pictures of it because I want Jane to be the first to see it. After all, it was her kind commission!

Going back to the hard work aspect, I do not think we appreciate what a hardwearing material jeans cotton weave is. No wonder they started off as true "workhorses". It pleases me that I can give at least some of them a new life, like a creative reincarnation.
