Wet.

With heavy rain falling all day long I've had an afternoon battling with my sewing machine. Foolishly I decided to work in the sitting room kneeling at the low coffee table. Fine for a while but not so good on my back when done for the whole afternoon. Sewing the hem on the under counter curtain went smoothly enough but then I decided to use the remaining fabric to make some shopping bags. Plastic bags stopped being free some time ago and the stronger 'bags for life' get very scruffy after a while and of course they are still made of plastic. I've a couple of jute bags but they are quite bulky. I had enough fabric left to make three bags and being me decided that I would make bags with side panels instead of the easier flat bags. I worked on all the bags at the same time and by the end of the afternoon having had a number of annoying incidents of the thread breaking or running out not one bag was completed. If I wanted to get my exercises done I had to stop for the day. I had to put everything away as the builders are starting work tomorrow and may be working in the sitting room as well as the loft.
