Now I want to make something like that for travelling with knitting/crochet/needlepoint/watercolour painting (that makes 4 different ones already!).

They seem to know they have some value but really know nothing about the items. So I have received some amazing lovelies, some really precious antiquities, and some just every day fabrics, buttons and such. I am grateful for it all. Cleaning today made me realize how absolutely too much I have. And I definitely don't want to just toss it. That would kill me. So I have some resources that will gladly take it. Our local Menonites don't dress in full Amish garb and they wear prints and regular fabrics, albeit in modest styles. I have much that will appeal to them and a family that will take it all. I am up to six bags of fabric at this point and more to go. I know, I hear the gasping. As I went through I asked myself, "am I really going to ever sew this? Would someone else make better use of this than me?" and so it went. I really need an entire week to go through it all but this weekend was it and my back is telling me to stop. I will do more this coming weekend and hopefully get back to sewing and NLS soon.

You may just be asked to commercialize the pattern. I know your instructions would be well written. I love the prints you used. I am glad you are pleased with this project. I loved your recent jacket too.

Some much thought goes into your projects and I can feel the satisfaction you have with the planning and completion. Our sewing guild has a yard sale every year and it gives me the chance to get rid of even more fabrics and patterns that have outgrown their storage space. How to decide what goes out? I just ask myself, "Is this me?" and normally the fabric says no along with the dated pattern or smallish sizes. So great that the recipients will be tickled pink, blue, green etc with your donations!mrsmolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329515914613595719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-50285740598954018262015-02-17T00:07:05.633-05:002015-02-17T00:07:05.633-05:00What a perfect bag!

It will take some time but knowing the local market, it could take up to a year or two to sell a house. I am doing what I can to get it staged. That really paid off for us last time so that's what we are focusing on now. And wow, does that all take time!

I love the fabric and coordinating faux leather, but it's the little details like the pockets and thread loops that really make it absolutely amazing! Didn't know you and hubby were preparing to sell, makes me really, really, really sad that I don't live closer to take those patterns and fabrics off your hands... ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126043161321731207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-8827621578956064352015-02-16T17:39:08.645-05:002015-02-16T17:39:08.645-05:00Bunny, you outdid yourself with this project.

Kudos to you, and I hope you show your granddaughters in great detail what a wonderful loom case you made, because this is what sewing is all about. I love the Van Gogh artwork, too.
