Got this HUGE cutting mat and it is rocking my world. I am able to cut out the fabric for the bags SO much faster. Clearing off the table and putting this mat down was the kick in the pants I needed to finish the birdie bag and cut everything out for two more flower bags. I do not remember sewing life before I got a rotary cutter. How could I live without that thing? Although, I think my life should flash before my eyes every once in a while when using it. Nearly sliced off my thumb the other day. I'll blame that on the tiny cutting mat I was using before today. Tonight the open cutter managed to jump out of my hand and head straight for my foot – straight for the open part of my mary janes. Yikes! I thought I was going to have to wake up the hubby for a trip to the emergency room. Somehow, it managed to hit the shoe just right and spare my foot. Whew!
Here is a close-up of the new sunflower bag that I will be putting together tomorrow. Then, oh just wait, got some crazy purple canvas that we are using. Mom painted some awesome flowers on them. Can't wait to see how they look once I embroider in the details. Wow, lots of bags in the works. And I still need to do those flower brooches too. Never enough time!
