I've heard many a time that the best way to help yourself out of a low period is to work for the benefit of others and I find it to be very true.
Over the weekend I've been busy sewing for a handmade auction at my husband's work for someone very much in need.
I'm very happy with this bag that I designed as I went along with a great deal of winging it! I went to Spotlight to buy handles, but when I saw the $15 price tag for a couple of bits of plastic I changed my mind and made a strap.
I picked some lemons from our tree to make a small batch of lemon curd, I love it.
Thanks to all who commented on my last post, I so appreciate your positive support :)

The bag is pleated (that took ages!) and has boxed corners, if that's what you call them.
Hobo bag from a commercial pattern.
Finished with a matching fabric covered button. I hope these bags raise some money for the auction.

Good on you Kel! It does feel good to help someone else. The black and white bag looks sensational.
I have sworn off sewing this week. I sewed right through 2 fingers yesterday :(
Oh Nell! Poor you, hope they're not too sore!!
Lovely work Kel!
Your 'wing it' bag is so clever.
Hope that you're feeling a bit better - I'm thinking of you and will pray for you that the "blechs" go away and stay away. Hugs.
