And we sewed a lot. Unpicked a bit.
And at the end of the afternoon we had 6 bags made by 6 fabulous sewing gals.
All in all it was a good day at the "Bag in a Day" workshop. All that sewing action got my fingers itching, so I brought home a domestic overlocker and sewing machine and finished off a couple of little-girl dresses and a top I cut out last week. It was SO satisfying to see them done. I'm hoping to work on a big-girl's dress tomorrow.... a little something for myself. (Photos later. I'm exhausted now!).
I Photoshopped the studio mess out of the photo above, and now I'm trying to figure out how to Photoshop some tidiness into this house.... I was going to come home to mopping and vacuuming. Instead, I just ADDED to the mess with sewing threads and trimmings all over the place. It was SO MUCH FUN!
BTW - I'm completely overwhelmed by the response to my givaway competition. There have been so many good suggestions I think we'll have to have a little studio-conference and decide on a winner by mid-week.

love the bags...so wish i could go to a workshop...
i too came home to a mess after work but found out i can squeeze into a market tomorrow and the whole place is like a bomb struck...with dolls and bags and chenille all over the floor ...
but i can't wait...unfortunatly i'm so excited i can't sleep...
I love those bags!! If you really do find a way to photoshop the mess from a home, please, please let me in on the trick! I always find things to do that are WAY more fun than cleaning :o)
The bags look great! I'd like to photoshop my house too (Stella has been very active with her play this weekend).
Wow, they are all so different and gorgeous - well done!!
In my humble opinion sewing doesn't go with a tidy house (not here anyway, especially when you have to cut on the family dining table!) I tell myself with a bigger house I wouldn't be messy - good excuse anyway.
Oh if only photoshop could cast it's magic in all sorts of occasions and locations.
It gives a new meaning to clone, erase, blur and filter! Where is the dust, vacuum and tidy button? You are definitely on to something Nikki...
Looks like a great day with lots of smiles.
Awesome bags! I would love to attend one of your workshops and be able to join in on the sewing fun. Want to come to Canada to teach a class or two? ;o)
