First project of 2012 and a mushy aside

I sewed for the first time using vinyl! It was a little tricky, but the old tape on the presser foot trick worked well (don't forget the back like I did). I followed the tutorial from Make It and Love It. It is really for Lego storage, but his cars were handy.


 I intended to have it ready for Christmas, but I spent my time sewing stockings for all of the adults in my family. The bag is a little roomier than I had imagined, so if you are considering making one, don't go too big! This one is made from a 9 inch circle (aka my stand mixer bowl). D took to it right away, so maybe he will be excited to clean? Not too likely.


My mushy aside. 


I was sitting at my desk absorbed in some task or another, and I hear D pitter patter in. I turned around and saw that he had decided to occupy a corner of my room. Guess he just wanted to be near me. <3


Mario Kart is way fun for kids and their moms too!

    1. No! I was having enough trouble with the vinyl.

  2. How sweet that D is following you around!

    What a great project, especially for Lego. My kids got no Lego this year for Christmas because stepping on it drives me insane. But if I had this then maybe it would be off my floor?
