... I've been working on the Maggie May bag yesterday & today. Not really sure how it will end up coming out as I've either a) found mistake(s) in the directions or b) not followed the directions to a perfect T... or a combination of both! The outside pieces are nowhere near the shape of the lining template that they're supposed to be & because both of my pieces are equally off, I'm sewing what I have & seeing where that takes me. It will be an adventure, no doubt when it all comes together for construction.
I love how the colors are coming out~ it definitely isn't that funky stash look that I thought I might end up with; the fabrics all meld together. And I suppose that the picture below dimes me out as to which one was the stash fabric assortment v. purposely selected fabrics. :o) Oh well... here's what the outside of my Maggie May bag is going to look like when all is said & done...

Right now I'm taking a break from sewing the lining pieces together... curved pieces take precision pinning & attention to detail. Which means I needed a break!!! (There were plenty of those on the outside of the bag.) And take a break I sure did~ put the sheets back on the bed & did the dishes in the sink. My eyes just need something different to focus on every now & again.
Back at it... hoping I can finish the lining tonight... which leaves the actual construction, binding, handles, etc. for tomorrow or whenever I can pick it back up again. However, the sooner it's finished, the better since the person who it's being given too had her birthday over a month ago. *Oops!* One of these days I will have gifts On Time!!!
Off to the machine & my pinning... Happy Quilting! :o)
