Tomorrow, my wife will be tricked lovingly guided into her first sewing project: ita bag pin inserts.

We made her pattern pieces and cut out everything tonight. Tomorrow she's ironing on an unholy amount of heavy interfacing and, uh... Assembling everything with the overlocker. Because why not start your sewing journey with the angriest machine in the home sewist arsenal?

Reddit, as it turns out, is rife with no sew tutorials for these doohickeys. Like, to the point of even my no-sew-loving other half wondering what childhood incident scarred so many people that they can't bear the thought of a sewing needle or machine. But those tutorials require a bunch of materials we do not have (or can't clean once assembled), and also have a glue gun that you would use if there was literally any other option. (Note to self: get better glue gun).

And she wants to be done quickly, with as little additional expenses as possible. And I had some fabric and overlocker thread in my stash that matches her bag, as well as a bunch of interfacing I've not needed as much as I thought.

The only worry is that the big panel will not be stiff enough, but theoretically we can just sandwich in a third piece of fabric with more interfacing on either side.

I just realized I haven’t posted about my tiny jake pattern since I finished it back in like May!

I gotta redo this one on like a purse or something. At least a different aida. I used an oatmeal linen-y one and it has all these lil hair-like things all over so my projects on it all look fuzzy 😵‍💫

It's done, second scarf has been made. Well onto the next knitting project, those being simple fingerless gloves.

Plastic Bag Holder.

This is a quick and easy project using up an odd ball of yarn. The stretchy net bag is open at both ends so you simply stuff used carrier bags in the top and pull out at the bottom. Perfect to hang on the cupboard door. It’s makes a great small gift for the ecologically minded.

(This was made with one ball of chunky acrylic wool. You can use any thickness or type of yarn.)

Make 5” chain. Close into a circle. Make treble into every other stitch. Continue in spiral until work measures about 12”. (Remember it will stretch when full!) Close final round with double stitch. Make a chain loop to hang on a hook.
