WOOHOO WITCHY WOMAN
SHE GOT THE MOON IN HER EYE.
It has been a week of two halves, sunny and hot up til Sunday then lots of rain since then (which the garden needed so I'm not complaining)
Thank you Wipso and Twiglet for the beautiful ATCs that arrived, I just adore all the colours and details, you’re so talented!
They all need pricing up as I've got a craft fair on Saturday and need to get my act in order. I'm getting my own card reader courtesy of the RNLI which is awesome, the monies taken will go straight into the local fundraising group account so I don't have to bother.
The muted fabric bag turned out really well, I was pleased with the toning zip colour and the little bronze heart zip pulls also added to the overall effect.
I've done a few of the Welsh flag bags too, some for the craft stall, some for an order (thanks Lynne!)
This is a new design I found from a YouTube tutorial, enough for a phone, tissues, doggy bags etc etc. It's quick to make but is like fabric origami towards the end which is great if your fabric is non-directional but a headache if it's not!
Hence the amateur way of working it out on paper after I got it wrong first time!!
Here's a pic from my holiday that I'd forgotten about, it was part of the Cardigan Weavers' Exhibition at the Woollen Mill:
Unfortunately I managed to cut the third crafter off on the right but it was called The Crafting Witches and it made me smile - I'm sure quite a few of us could recognise ourselves there!!
Have a great week xxxx

I am sure those bags will fly off the stall; they are fab! Good luck. I love the crafting witches - people are so clever! Happy WOYWW Helen #2
Your bags are gorgeous Jan. Doesn't that dandelion clock fabric look good - really smart. I chuckled at the crafting witches - yes I can see you me and Annie there 🤣🤣 x x Jo 🌈
Gorgeous makes and what a great bonus to have the card reader too. Good luck with the event. Catriona
I adore those crafting witches! The bags are looking very smart but I’m sorry they’re an origami headache to put together. If my first chicken works out well, I’m thinking of sending it to a cousinette who lost her partner, father, granddad and grandma in too short a time. If not, I’ll keep it for me and learn from my mistakes for the next one. I’ve loads of yarn as the Jewelspun comes in 200g balls. I may get addicted to making them!
Happy WOYWW

Dear Jan!
Those two fabric ATCs are beautiful.
And the fabric bags will sell very well. Wish you good luck for the fair on Saturday. Nice to see the "Crafting Witches".
Have a great week too!

How fabulous are those crafting witches. Some talented folks about, wish I could do something like that myself.
Well you have been busy. Love the fabric origami and the bags are gorgeous. As you say the zip works with that fabric.
Hope you are feeling well.
Hugs, Neet 11 xx
My husband decided today was the best day of a poor forecast, to get the awning down! He was half way through when it poured! It’s packed away and the weather is lovely now so he gone off with the dogs. Good luck with your upcoming craft fair. Happy WOYWW. Angela #9
Hi Jan, I'm back. Love your ATCs and the bags you've been making. We usually see ladies like these at the country shows. Thanks for your kind words, the funeral went well and we're back now. Happy woyww, Angela x8x
Love all your sewing projects, they are wonderful. Anesha
Here’s the other little witch checking in. I’ve not blogged today because I’ve been ploughed under prom dresses….loads of them and I’ve more to come yet. I love your bags Jan…you add lots of special bits and I love them. I won’t be making any time soon lol
Hugs

Oh my those ATCs have got me going especially as I'm in fabric mode this week. Adore all your bags and hope the craft fair went well especially with the new card reader - how cool is that! Know what you meant about needing a paper pattern aid sometimes I got into a few pickles this past week! The felted scene is adorable. Yes having the sewing machine out on a separate "permanent" table was brilliant for Making Zen. I was pretty busy, hence my late reply. Hugs BJ#5
Hello Jan, the ATCs from Annie & Jo are uniquely beautiful pieces of work. And your bags are no less beautiful. The muted fabric is lovely. I'm a sucker for anything with dandelions on it. The three witches had me spinning back to my schooldays and the year I studied Macbeth. That has to be one of the best opening scenes of any of Shakespeare's plays. Hope you've had a fabulous weekend. Hugs, Elizabeth x #14
The week got away from me but Happy (so late) WOYWW! Love the muted bag - that fabric is so pretty. I always think of you when I see sewing shorts titled "took 10 minutes and I made 50 in a day - sold them all!' except with loads of misspellings LOL! The spinning witches are cute - what magic are they cooking up?

ooh loving the dandelion cross body bag, bet they flew off the stall at the sale. As to your comment on my post, yep, I got paint all over my hands and jeans too as forgot I had paint on my hands and wiped my hands, lol! I never learn ;-)
