Today was one of those days when I just couldn't get my fingers to do what I wanted them to do. It took me all morning to tat one Masquerade motif. I'd get the thread all tangled up, create knots, undo the knots, untangle the thread... all very frustrating!
So, after lunch I decided to sew instead. I finished four more Origami pouches. I said before that I planned on returning to the Quiltsalott tutorial that I've used for years, but I really liked the idea of completing the bag on my machine with no hand stitching. I made a few bags following a tutorial I found from Harujion Design, but it didn't go together quite the way I wanted it to.
After making a few bags, I realized that I was sewing too deep a seam for the boxing of the bottom. I adjusted that, and I liked the shape of the bag much better! Now I have six bags completed, one of which suits me just fine. I may keep it for myself!
The advantage of having more than one project on the go. I’m sure your tatting fingers will soon be back.
ReplyDeleteI hope so! My fingers can't keep up with my brain as it is!
