Yesterday I did a bit of sewing. I made a new My Leetle Bag. My original design was for a more-or-less-square bag, and intended it to be used (by me) for socks-in-progress. I since have discovered that it's not quite big enough for a 100g pre-balled ball of yarn:
This is a sock-in-progress, and the ball wants to stick out the top, and it'll barely close. The yarn is kind of squished down in there. And the needles have always stuck out the top, no matter the yarn size.
So I made a new bag, 1 1/2 inches taller. I don't think it's as pretty as the first (square is so intrinsically perfect) but it certainly holds the project better. The next time I make one I'll probably increase by just an inch or half an inch.
For those of you playing along, that means I cut the fabric into pieces 9.25 x 12 inches. Next time it'll be 9.25 x 11 or 11.5.

I have been doing a lot of sewing lately. Just finishing up the 5th tote bag/purse. 4 of us are going to Stitches from here, so I am making us shopping bags! Once it's full we have to stop? or go back to the room to unload!
