October One Monthly Goal

I'm a little reluctant to make a goal for October because I don't know if I'll have much time to sew this month because we are preparing for a basement remodel, but I do like to have a plan for when I do have time.

In August, I had my first long arm lesson and quilted some fabric to make another ByAnnie project. I'd like to make a bag large enough to hold my laptop computer. 

I spent quite a while looking at the options, and I finally chose MJ's Messenger Bag.

I have the pattern and materials and just need to order the zippers before I start assembly.

Thanks to Patty for hosting the OMG challenge; it's helped me stay focused on projects and get them finished in a timely manner.

  1. Oh wow, what a fabulous project. I have made a simple bag or two, but this is really next level. Hope you get some or all done, inspite of the basement remodel. Thanks for visiting Kathryn Quilts.

    1. I made another of the ByAnnie bags in August and it turned out quite well. I'm a big fan of her patterns now. I'm hoping this one goes as well. And I hope I have enough time to work on it as well.

  2. That will make a pretty and useful computer bag. Good luck. Hopefully the basement remodel won't take up all of your time this month.

    1. I won't be surprised if I get it finished because sewing is much more fun than sifting and cleaning. LOL

    1. Good luck. I actually bought the computer because I am not convinced I could learn the free motion quilting.
