Shopping List
- One reel of Sylko 502 Vanilla cotton
- Lightweight fusible interfacing
I just want to interface the lining. It’s some calico from my stash and it’s just too lightweight in itself without a bit of support (because it will have to carry books around after all). And my interfacing bag is full of heavy stuff anyway, so it will be good to have the choice.
I absolutely love having supplies at home so I can make whatever I like when the mood takes me. Don’t you? That’s why I’m the kind of girl who buys 96 buttons from ebay. I’m thinking of adding one of those buttons to the tab as well, because, well – pretty!
No shopping for me today though – that has to wait until tomorrow. Must read and write today, for dissertation synopsis waits for no one.
Cheers doll! I’m struggling under the weight of too many things so I’ve been a bit quiet lately, but it does feel nice to have a craftyblog. lookit me – I’m a real crafter ;)

Otherwise it will be super floppy. Check out: http://u-handbag.typepad.com/uhandblog/2007/04/ahhh_grasshoppe.html for instructions. Add it to the top of the bag for added structure. Also add another layer of Timtex to the bottom panel, otherwise it will give too much when you fill it. I hope this is constructive… ok, back to undercover lurking!

I don’t have Timtex, but I do interface and interface again, and I was considering using a proper bag bottom since I mostly carry books around and not just lipstick. Would that work? I’m hoping so…
