The Library bag........

Production line is back in business again.  The mammoth task of packing will begin in early September again for Network Heaven and the small part that I play is to make some library bags.   Over the last 7 months I have been using the RSC colour each month to make library bags and seeing that time is getting closer to handing over the bags any fabrics remaining in one of the cupboards to be cut and sewn up were collected and the production line started.

So far they have been put through the overlocker.


Next step is to the sew the casings for the drawstrings, turn them inside out and hand them over.

When out shopping the other day I grabbed a net of passionfruits - some of them are the size of cricket balls and just as heavy.  Hubs and I have been enjoying them on our breakfast cereal each morning this week.   

The "fabric fairy" dropped by my front door the other day and left these behind.    The first lot are all disney prints and they will be perfect for making the small donation quilts.


The next lot is an assortment of prints and sizes which will be used in various projects over a period of time. 


Looking out the window it is a lovely sunny day so time to head out and get my daily dose of Vitamin D while making a start on reading the latest book club book.   I have read another of this author's books previously and it was not my type of book but I will give this one my "usual 2 chapter" trial.    If I am not "grabbed" in by the first two chapters then  it is time to give it away.     Being a book club book I will have to "skim read" it to be able to join in the discussion.    


Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

You will be a busy beaver with all that new fabric. A lovely fabric fairy. Yum, that passion fruit looks divine. Any we have bought lately have been nearly empty. I have a couple of his books on my shelf, but haven’t ventured into the, yet. I hope you enjoy this one.

Good luck with the book - I was not a fan of Boy Swallows Universe
Maybe there are on line summaries and you can cheat!
Lucky to be gifted fabrics that you can put to good use....and passion fruits - they can be very pricey and then disappointing.

Great production line there.
Nice pile of fabrics left by the fairy.
Hope you’re book is a good read.

The production line looks good.... the best way when doing multiple of the same thing.... nice of the fabric fairy to drop by with those fabrics for you.... I'm not a fan of that author - I find him hard to read but I have enjoyed the stories made into films. Huge passionfruit!
