Have been lining bags it has been fun getting my sewing machine out have not used it for a while.

Finished lining the Llama wool bag and started tacking fabric for the two rib bags

 Machined the two lining then sewed them into the bags by hand, after sewing the handle lining in place. Stitched the handle lining in place by hand after first machining sides under for strength and neatness. My tacking is not neat!

When I was sewing the ribbed bags together, forgot to say, there are two extra stitches on one side of the bag because of the rib. But as knitting is stretchy it does not make much difference.

 Three lined and finished bags.

 Finished light denim bag.

 Finished dark denim bag. Decided to put a cable tab over opening just to help it stay closed.

While sewing and knitting have been listening to the popular Harry Potter read by Stephen Fry.

 Started knitting a pair of lacy fingerless mittens from a pattern from an old  Simply Knitting Magazine

Decided the light denim bag is ideal for putting over shoulder and keeping the ball of wool in while knitting and of course just putting whole project in progress in.
