Today's sewing time was dedicated to practical sewing and mending. I finally made time to mend a couple pair of socks and a pair of tights that have been waiting for some care for months now.
There are two new tea towels after I cut and serged the edges of the linen scraps from yesterday's project.
Next up, I cut a variety of rectangular shapes from sheer curtain fabric. I then pinned and serged the sides, leaving an opening.
And these are my new re-useable produce bags to take to the grocery store and farmer's market. I was disappointed when I spotted plastic bags for customers to use at the local farmer's market. I'm not a perfect eco-friendly person, but I'm trying to change my behaviour and become a better steward of the earth.
From one metre of fabric I managed to sew nine produce bags. Today's projects might not be my fanciest sewing, but I can say that it did feel rewarding once these were completed.
Happy Sewing!
Practical, economical, and good for the planet... well done!
ReplyDeleteI have bought some fabric to make reusable produce bags as well. That is on the agenda after a bit of Christmas sewing.
