Getting Things Finished
So many people around the crafting blog community are taking part in 'Work in Progress Friday' and I have thought about it each week but I seriously have that much I would need to be 'Work in Progress Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday' so I never take part! But I had a burst of energy the other night and decided to try finishing off a few things. The first was the monkey purses, which I had cut out ready to go. Two of these are now accounted for but I still haven't sold anything on Etsy. I am trying not to let this bother me too much as the last thing I need is to start getting paranoid and down on myself, but it would obviously be nice to make one little sale! I will keep on with though as it is early days and I have lots more things I could put in there such as, more bags, more purses, aprons and my prints to name a few.
I also put together a couple of drawstring bags for an order that I am way behind on. I still have to get the ribbon to finish off the drawstring part, but at least the bags are made. I have also been asked to make a matching belt for the bag, which could be cute so I also have to think about this too.
But sadly this project I couldn't finish. Just as I suspected the wool, when folded together is much too thick for my machine. I still intend to finish it somehow as I think the end result could be really nice. So before I result to dodgy hand sewing does anyone have any advice? Is it possible to get a shorter needle/foot or will sewing this potentially wreck my machine?
