Ever have one of those days where everything you sit down to do gets put on hold due to some missing component? That was my Friday night.
I finished piecing the exterior of my Weekender Bag only to realize that I had never bothered to buy the lining...or the zipper...or the cording (whoops!).
On to project #2 - a project I found in a magazine I picked up last week. I pieced together the front with no problem then realized I had no backing or binding materials (whoops again!).
Third time is a charm, right? Not in this case. I had printed off a new paper piecing pattern from Shape Moth that I was eager to get started on so I jumped right in using some of my scraps. No trouble finishing the. Again to realize I had nothing for backing or binding. No pic, sorry. Also I ran out of several different colors of thread while piecing everything. Luckily since it wasn't going to show I just switched to a new color and kept going.
So Saturday morning Squeak & I spent a couple of fun filled hours at the store picking up some supplies. A few necessities, a few stash builders, a couple fun new toys to try out and we're set for awhile!
The lesson here? Plan better!!! Oh well, off to start finishing the above mentioned projects!
