this and that

So it's been quite the experience messing around with the Bernina350.
I kind of feel like I'm starting all over again. So I've been doodling around with zipper bags!



Also got brave a tried out my "walking foot". I absolutely love it. I use it more than i use any of the other feet that came with my machine. so i tested out a pot holder. 

This is Jim, my cat. He likes to get in my stuff like my ribbon and yarn. he has now adopted that skein of yarn as his own... which is fine.. because no one wants something that smells like cat breath... 



I also decided to design my own tri-fold wallet. This was my first result. made a pattern with some old paper bags. Made some black and white stripped binding.. 






 Got to quilt again!

 
so i learned why i don't like magnetic snaps. they're not meant for sewing close to. that's for sure. I prefer the Anorak snap instead. Which i used for the cute little bags below. 





 cause who doesn't like a star wars bag for money?
