I learned a lot

Welcome to another Studio Sunday linking to Rebecca Ersfeld showing you another of my failed projects.

I love ballerinas, so I thought that since I can sew pillows now, I could easily sew a muslin bag.  So I dyed the muslin pink and cut it.

I had in my mind that I wanted ruffles and a ballerina silhouette, so happily singing a song I am sewing and sewing............ then oh, oh, it isn't as easy as I thought. 

First I cut the fabric in the wrong direction, I wanted the bag to have a worn feeling so I learned that you don't just cut fabric and ta-da! Fabric has "grain" like wood.  So I won't have the worn look, but the dee tee dee look.

Second, sewing ruffles, oh my! those don't look like ruffles at all. ugh! I guess there is a special "sewing machine mechanism" to make ruffles.  I am not happy, not happy at all.  

But I did learn, my next bag will be pretty, pretty.

Here is the "finished bag"

And here is the pillow matching the bag (The graphics are from "The graphics fairy".

There you have it.  Have a great sunday everyone!
