keep calm & sew on.

sewing has been fun, frustrating, difficult and magical.

last week we learned how to make a reversible tote bag.

i think mine came out pretty nice.

i'm obsessed with the houndstooth print.

i think it matches funkily with pretty flowers and basic prints.

this week we made a picnic placemat.

the most challenging part for me was making 

a continuous bias tape for the border.

i spent an hour on sunday trying to create one and i drove myself crazy.

my classmates helped out and i got it done- but...

i need another one for next week, so wish me luck!

i choose a quirky mushroom pattern with gingham borders

for my picnic placemat. it was a fun project that taught many skills.

spots for a fork, knife, spoon, chopsticks and a napkin!
