Bag swap!

Nikki, do you know what kind of machines they are? Usually you can find manuals and such on ebay...or sometimes else where on the net in PDF form for free...

not sure without going there and looking, i think one of them is many moons old - it's all in wood!

That's amazing! Next time your around you should take some pics. I love looking at old sewing machines!

cool cassie, my machine is one of the old singer ones i'll post a pic later, so you can see it for yourself. almost finished bindiibabes bag, i'm quite A-cited.

I'm pretty much done with your bag siobhan! i cracked on with it this morning, and just a few little things left to do then i'm finished!

I'm a-cited to see what EVERYONES made

I cut out Claire's then changed my mind about how & what I was making, so the bits of the original bag are in stuffed in another bag to be completed at a later date....
I'm liking version 2 better....

I was chugging away on Pammerz purse (which I love so far, but am also nervous all won't go as planned!), when I suddenly ran out of thread! I was just sew sew sew sew....WHAAA where did my thread go T_T; going to get some more tomorrow so project is stalled for a day, but I still have a good amount of time to finish! <3

are we gonna post teasers when we're finished??
I really like what i've made, it's cool doing something i wouldn't normally make!
tried a new technique on this too

Lol @ Cassie... I remember doing that when I was hemming a wedding dress for my sis (full skirt & train). It was a mega-rush job, the bride decided she was coming early to pick up her dress so some family member could come with her, so there was I, toootling away on the machine, wondering why I seemed to have gone past the trainy bit again, only to discover the thread had run out about a foot into it
Needless to say, I got kicked off the machine and demoted to sewing silk roses for another frock (which was a nicer job anyways ;P )

Claire, I just assumed we would be.....

cool!! i've only done the newbie vs vet swap before so was just checking

only the pockets and a bit of embellishment and i'm done. gonns do that tomorrow. then i'll post a spoiler ooooh i can't wait.

OOOOHHHHHH! I iz a-cited!!! ;P

i'm done!! will sort a teaser out in a bit then pop it on here!

drat my attempts at bag making are failing so badly I'm trying to some wet felting, took the "bag" out of the water, it fell apart. the fibres wouldnt mesh together and after 2 hours following several tutorials i have to conclude it doesnt work. now i have a pile of wet wool roving that wont even turn into a ball. back to the drawing board again

Finished yours Nikki!
For once I'm actually ahead on a swap (so this gives me 3 days to forget to go to the post office!)
