First pair of socks done and dusted! Now I get to make another pair with the "fun" yarn, and I made this sweet little project bag to celebrate 😁

How do you make a project bag that's *actually* useful? 🤔
My MIL is an avid knitter (did you see those monstera mittens i posted? She made me those for Christmas 😭❤️) and her birthday is this weekend. I know she likes to knit in the car, so I wanted to make a project bag that is light, but has a couple of clever features. There's plenty of room for a handful balls of yarn, plus a pocket for needles, pencils, notes etc. I thought about how annoying it is when the yarn balls roll around in the car, or having to do colourwork and the threads get all tangled. The solution is a strip of webbing with channels for the different threads – but with snaps, so she doesn't have to cut the yarn to get them out. Added a bigger snap for closure and webbing straps for carrying. Hope she likes it!
Everything in this project is made with what I already had: the outer fabric is a thrifted Flåklypa bed sheet, the lining is a thrifted curtain, the snaps are leftovers and the webbing was tied around some kitchen towels I bought recently.

In 2021, a friend and I decided to learn "proper" sewing by doing a remote, two-person makealong of simple drawstring bags.

The perfect thing to hold small knitting projects like socks, it turned out!

Sadly her bag didn't work out quite as well due to the sewing machine inexplicably sewing backwards(?) and also a lack of interfacing. Mine was a kerfuffle of its own as the blog post we were following seemed to make less and less sense as it went on.

But we persevered, and we overcame. And now we can *sort of* sew, hooray!

I'm a seamstress of habits, I sew the same garments, my joy is working with good fabrics. Except that I have to modify my usual patterns to my current measurements and I haven't found the energy over the last few months.

To get back on track, a birthday present for a friend: a self-drafted project bag, with Liberty quilting fabrics.

My first #sewing project in 5 years: a #knitting #ProjectBag with snap closures instead of a zipper that always snags my yarn. It’s translucent, so I can always see what project I’ve got inside it. I might add a pocket inside for the next one since I have so much scrap fabric. Hammering the snap closures was so stressful. You really have to swing hard! :blobfox_shocked: #diy #handmade

A small project bag with a neon pink handle on the left two white snap closures across the top. It’s made of clear plastic with a white thread grid. There is a hammer and a plastic container of snap closures nearby.

Usually i don't buy stuff like this, but this simple bag from (the ones with the pure wool sock yarn) has a cute print on it. It has the ideal size to hold my to-go projects (usually socks).

a project bag filled with a sock, dpns, a leather needle holder, a cardboard box with row counter and stitch markers, and a small handsewn envelope holding hooks for catching dropped stitches, a tapestry needle, and cable needles. The project bag (a simple string bag) has a vichy pattern in green and bluea simple drawstring bag for knitting project. cotton with a vichy pattern in blue and green with a print (one of the Retrosaria motifs) in black on it.
