I don't usually buy kits - I would rather put my own spin on a design - but I couldn't resist this one when I saw in at one of the demonstrations at the Craft and Quilt Fair last week. It is called a Bac-Pac and uses some Japanese style fabric and shashiko stitching. It also has the zipper neatly concealed, so that it it is pretty safe from unwanted fiddling.
Today I cut out everything and even fused the iron-on pellon to the main pieces. I thought I might have to make a quick trip to Spotlight for the pellon, which was the only thing not supplied in the kit, but I discovered a couple of metres in the bottom of a cupboard. There are definite advantages to having a stash - though I rather wish mine was better organised!
No photos - I will take some as I progress.

About Me

- I have been fiddling with fibres and fabrics in my free time for 50 years or so. Now I am retired I still don't have enough time for everything I want to try. I was diagnosed with advanced colon and liver cancer in December 2009. I have begun a blog that will chronicle my fight to defeat this enemy.
