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!
Only thing is, Mick wants one for himself now and with only 5 more sleeps til Xmas its just not going to happen. He'll just have to wait til next year!
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!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic!! Who cares about not having a sewing machine it looks beaut and I bet Flynn will LOVE it. I think it's funny that Mick wants one too...oh well easy present for next year ;)

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.
