Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 2

This weeks challenge: Back to school/ library charity
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted (kind of)

So this week isn’t a new sew. I made this Bazinga Backpack quite awhile ago now and it has been used almost daily since then so is starting to show some signs of wear and tear. My kid isn’t the most gentle with his things, so I am surprised at how well it has held up.

The issue with it was the webbing from one of the straps had all but come out and was only just holding on.

It was a pretty quick fix and I made sure to seal the webbing really well before sewing it back in to hopefully stop the same thing from happening again.

Repairs are my least favourite part of sewing, do you like repairs or do you leave them far longer than you should like I do?

Happy Sewing

Sewing Resolutions for 2018

I’m not usually big on New Year’s resolutions, what’s the point of waiting for a particular day to make changes? However towards the end of the year a lot of people were posting collage photos of all the items they had made for 2017, so I thought I’d join in.

Only thing is after looking at it for awhile I realised just how many items were missing! Things I’d sewn up at the last minute for gifts and forgotten to take a photo of, or even just that I haven’t kept my photos organised enough to find them. So this year I decided I’d like to try harder to take a photo of each item I make so that at the end of the year I can make another collage that includes them all this time.

My favorite sew for the year would have to be this Bazinga Backpack. I did start out making it for one of the kids but have now claimed it for carrying all my crafty supplies for sewing meetups.

The other thing I realised was I do a lot of sewing for the kidlets and other people but not for me, so this year I will try to sew more for me. Starting with a new EZ Wrap Wallet that I will sew up during the Sew Along.

What are your sewing resolutions for 2018?

Happy Sewing xx
