First unpicking was because I had one side upside down! So the bottom was unpicked and the top sewn to become the bottom!! Phew!
Then I had to fill the bobbin and I can't have put it back in properly as the stitch was all loopy, I was doing the stretch three stitch and boy it takes some unpicking!
Finally it is together, just needs a cord and a wee white spot in the eyes now.
The front
and the back.
Yesterday we had some exciting mail arrive, some special pieces of fabric from the lovely Fiona of BubzRugz. Fiona has sent me some of her beautiful African fabrics to make some more International Sisters blocks. Thank you Fiona they are beautiful.
I think I will be making more Sisters today.
Thank you too to Cheryll for hosting FNWF. You can pop over to her blog and see what others worked on last night.
Happy stitching.
PS I nearly forgot, I did some ironing and now these One Block Wednesday blocks can go with the rest of the collection.
Now I have 73 blocks to go!! Woo Hoo!!
Oh dear, that is always so sad to have to unpick - not something anybody likes, but you did get the bag finished in the end, and it looks great. Have fun with the new fabric. Enjoy your day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteSome days that unpicker can be very busy!!!!!! The bag turned out well in the end.

Oh Sue The laundry bag is fantastic
ReplyDeleteAlways some reverse sewing to do
Some other loveliness there as well
Very frustrating but your end result is wonderful! Neat fabrics from Fiona and love your blocks xx
ReplyDeleteThe laundry bag turned out so well it certainly will be appreciated. The sisters are really an international group, aren’t they.
ReplyDeleteDon't you wonder how we get so distracted and then we have to correct our mistakes? Sigh. Wonderful result - it was worth your persistence!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the unsewing is as important as the sewing. I really like your international sister's block - great fabrics!
