I purchased Janelle Wind's "Thelma's Day Out" Bag and Journal Cover Pattern some time ago from Kerry in Nundle. Yesterday I made up the Journal Cover for the first time as a Christmas Gift for a dear friend (non blogger).
The pattern went together well. Shame about the sewing machine breakdown! Fortunately DH was on hand to save the day. Guess what I need to organise in the New Year - full Machine service, it has been awhile.
As it was getting later and later last night and I was getting more and more frustrated with hit and miss wonky and jumpy stitches I managed to sew the binding onto the inside so I have the hand stitching on the outside! I was over unpicking by then, so kept it as neat as I could.
I love it, so am sure the recipient will be happy.
Only four more sleeps....... (and how many more gifts to sew?)
