Getting Crafty With My Bad Self!
So do you remember how i mentioned i wanted to make Flynn a Santa sack for Xmas? Yea, well - i've done it! I'm finished! Now bearing in mind that a) i dont own a sewing machine so i had to pain-stakingly hand sew everything, and b) i havent done that much hand-sewing since Yr 12 of high school ( which will be 10 years ago next year....crap, where has the time gone?! ) ... well, knowing all that, i think i've done a pretty good job. Judge for yourself:
There it is, the finished product. Not everything is perfectly straight, and if you had a look on the inside the stitching is pretty shithouse wonky, but hey, you know what ? I'm pretty damn proud of myself! I set myself a goal, i did something that i havent done in ages and never anything as tricky as this, and all without a sewing machine or even a pattern. Go crafty me go!

Well done you! It looks really good and I'm impressed it's all hand sewn! Flynn will love it :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you did a great job. I have a sewing machine. I've been trying to teach myself to sew for awhile. It's a slow learning process.
ReplyDeleteWow looks fantastic. I can't even sew on a button let alone sew something fab like that!!

And no sewing machine?! Well done! I wouldn't have had the patience to attempt that without a sewing machine. Flynn will treasure that for years to come.
