An Origami Bukuro - Fabric bag
Yesterday I went to the quilt and craft fair in Christchurch. And at a Make area this is what I made.
It is a fabulously simple pattern and quick to make - 45 minutes at the most if you are used to sewing.
It was free making and pattern if you had your own material. As I had purchased material at the Fair I thought that was the way to go. The area had Brother sewing machines for you use and it was really a promo for them. The pattern was given away by Brother. I have to say I loved two things about the machines 1.the way the speed was regulated 2. the automatic threader. Now I have a Bernina and never thought I would change, but I did enjoy sewing on the Brother machines.
For those of you who have not yet gone it is still on tomorrow from 10-4.30. I really enjoyed it. I took quite a different approach this year as the last few quilt shows or fairs I have been too I have been a tad disappointed. This time I focused on any free tutorial or class and anything new that I had not seen before. I had the best time ever!!
The other hands on class that I did was with a pattern making system and I really enjoyed doing that. I came away with a vest pattern that fits me. Now vests are not particularly In at the moment but some can be very funky. So two hours of my 5 hours there was in hands on classes. There was so much more I could have done. I am pleased with my new approach.

What a cute bag and very pretty fabric. Looks like a fun time over all. It's think it's fun to try a different machine every once in a while.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bag! I love the colours. I may have to make one!
ReplyDeleteI used to sew on a Brother and swore off them because I had so many problems with the bobbin and tension and sewing machine fits (I had to give it time-outs!) but in retrospect I think it was a pretty old machine that we got second-hand (I think), and that I may have judged too quickly. Oh, and there's always the possibility it was my fault, of course!
