shopping

My quilting hobby has sort of "taken over".

You know...it creeps in at every turn!

Even the lowly re-usable shopping bag has not

been left out!

Have we all made one or two or three shopping bags...

just because we like to sew?

I made a bunch of covers to attach to some

UGLY bags that were a deal!

I wanted to cover the awful picture that was

printed on them.
I will attach the pictures with a Large running stitch

around the outside edge.

It will fray a little, but that's o.k. with me.

The first picture is the only one that is

finished with that running stitch.

I cut some rectangles for the background

of my little "stitch-doodled" pictures.

supplies:

buttons

yo yos

embroidery floss

and steam a seam for the pots

Appliqued some pots on a couple of them.

Added some buttons and yoyos!



No yo yo maker for me.
Just a 4" square.
I have a big box of those...remember?!




fold in half twice.

trim the corner off with a curve.

A circle.

This circle doesn't have to be perfect!

Stitch the edge over.

oooh....bad picture!

that's a little better.

Pull that thread tight and tie a knot.

Viola!

A yo yo!

Applique that down.

stitch-doodle yourself a little picture!

Then...

Go forth and shop!
