I'm back, baby!

 :) can i getta 'Woot Woot'. Sure, playing gamecube was
great, but i am glad to be back in my sewing room.
I went to a sewing class last week with a friend and
i figured since i was going to be 'teaching' this fall i should
invest in a carrying case. and you know me, i am anything
but normal, sew i had to pimp it out a little.
This is when my day job comes in handy ;)
i designed this pattern and cut it out of vinyl
(lime green of course). It doesn't really stick all
that well, sew i couldn't turn the corners. i coulda used
a different material.....but that would been $$.
It will just make me be more careful, which is good
for the life of the case, and the machine inside of it :)

and what did i sew in class you ask?
a zipper bag! the whole thing is made out of one
incredibly long zipper. now, its way too small for
me to actually carry, i mean, this thing could barely
hold my sunglasses case, lol, but it was sew much
fun to make! and to hang with my gurl, T.

here it is unzipped:

no, that's not a green snake.  its my purse!
the pattern is from the booklet Zip and carry bags.
really neat things in there!! i am gonna make a small one
for my BFF.
Hope you guys are doing well and
having a great Labor day weekend!!!

anyone working on anything this long weekend?
or just cooking out and watching football? :)

Oh look how cute! I love what you've done to your carrying case, and that zipper purse is adorable.

This weekend, we hung out with the kids at the fair, then a parade, then I went on a "girl date" with my daughter where we bought cinnamon sugar pretzels, knee-high boots (for her, not me), and nail polish. I wanted the mood nail polish, but she went for the glow-in-the-dark pink with the light-up bottle. I hope your weekend was as good.

Great way to personalize your stuff! I actually just got out of the house for the weekend. I was sick last week and being stuck at home really drives me a bit crazy.
