The Attack on the Sewing Room Has Begun

 To day I decided to attack UFO’s and repair work in the sewing room.  First on the list was putting the final seam into 2 dog pillows.  

Next on the agenda was to make a personal scrap bag for my personal sewing, weaving and other fiber arts of my own creation.  The bag is no longer empty.  

Next on the agenda, to repair 3 bags that I bought at Follow Your Heart in California when I started living on my own.  I bought 1 new bag every paycheck for a total of 3 canvas shopping bags.  The first bag was easy. I just pulled out some scrap fabric and cut a small square out. I found matching thread. Then patched a small hole.  The second and third bags took me a few minutes to figure out.  Once I had figured out how to replace the handles without changing the structure of the bag the work went quickly. After I finished the second bag I ran into dinner time. So bag number three will be completed tomorrow.  

Below is a pile of most of what I completed today.
