Sewing again, somewhat

I have mentioned earlier in some posts back I want to get back into sewing…..sewing stuff other then clothes!!!  I might have to sew some lounge pants tho since the ones I have now are hole-ly.  I started looking at bag patterns some time ago and I do bookmark those I think I like and think i can do since I’m such a pathetic sewer. 

I finished up this bag on Tuesday.  I started it on Sunday late afternoon, relying on the free light.

I finally got it all done – ironed it too, on Tuesday night, hence the low light in the above picture.  It’s a super simple bag to make.   I’m desperately trying to get rid of the fabric I hauled from garage sale, Etsy, eBay and Joann’s.  I don’t even know why I bought this fabric for this bag.  I guess I liked it when I saw innitally saw it but now, I don’t.  When I buy all these $5 or less/yard fabric, I don’t have anything in mind what to make with them.  Just buy them then figure out later.  I have quite a few fat quarters sitting in my stash plus all the the other remnants. 

Now I, again, surfing the web for patterns, mainly bags and some simple wristlets taht do not require me to sew zippers.  I sewed a wristlet once and it’s not the best…one ugly looking thing, experimenting with zippers. 

Will I sew the above ugly looking thing again or modify the pattern to make me sew it???  I don’t know, depending on my mood I guess, but I do have other wristlet patterns I saw but just don’t have the mood to get her done.  I have to say sewing is therapeutic to me….aAll is forgotten and the time goes by so quick coz I remember I can stay up till 2 am just to complete something, looked at the clock and it was way past my bedtime and it was actually almost time for me to get up!  Crazy I know but guess that’s me….the extremist.
