Having a sewing machine that does a little more than straight stitching but mainly that handles thick fabrics or bulky seams well makes a lot of difference as I'm finally able to make some of the things I've been wanting to make for quite a while.
One of the items on my list was a folder to take to the PTA meetings and where I could keep my A4 notebook as well as any other documents pertaining to the meeting. Here it is below.
As you can see I kept it very simple, inside there are 2 pockets the contents of which are held in place by the 2 pieces of ribbon.
I've also been having a go at making myself some bags mainly for shopping. This is the 1st one I made and it's a little longer than I intented.
This is my 2nd bag made using a template I drew myself and lined for added strength.
The bag below is the 3rd I made and my favourite so far, I used 2 tea towels from a set of 6 I bought at the local charity shop.






Waw so fab bags, love them! And folder is beautiful! Hugs,moni
