On Thursday I had to teach a class at Nancy's Sewing Basket, and I also needed to finish a sample of the market bag for them. I have to say that 20 years ago when I arrived in Seattle, Nancy's was the first fabric store that I went to. Nancy has many treasures all over her store. Then, she had to open the ribbon room. I died and went to heaven. They have all these things with the word "vintage" attached to it. You know, buttons and ribbon, and flower making stuff. I have to be very careful when I walk in there, so that I do not buy too much. The materials we picked for the market bag were fabulous. Designer denim, yummy! I had a student that had made the market bag in denim, and it was really cool. What I love is the fabric that we picked for the side embellishment. Usually I use 3 different fabrics that coordinate together, but with this HUGE designer print in fresh, just picked colors, I cut the strips and put them in an order so that was not in order, and that you can see the individual pieces. Then I did my thing and made it come together. I think it turned out very nice. And, a big plus, it was the first day to sew outside. Yes, all you sewing divas, I sew outside in the sun
