who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
My very first ith bag with zip thanks to Sue. Thank you Sue for giving me to courage to try something new. . t least I did it and it works and looks pretty good for a first time. Used upholstery fabric with cotton lining and a red zipper. I think the upholstery was a little to heavy and stiff so will use something more like denium next time. At least I did it/Lillian

It's lovely and I think your fabric was perfect for this. I'll bet there's a line of little girls queuing up to put in their order.

26010It looks great, these little bags are also very handy for small items around the house, you can add initials or designs or just experiment with fabrics. I'm happy you tried it.

Not being a canine I strongly believe one is never too old to learn something new and enjoy it.

Lol I have preached that very adage to my daughters all their lives because I truly believe it. "If you really want to do it, you'll find a way" Thank you/Lillian

360641great job!! I have done lots of tissue holders in the hoop, buy only one little bag with a zipper. You give me courage to try also. The kids would love this with their monogram on it. I could use up some of those old zippers, also. Kay

85867You are putting me to shame, because I still have not tried it.Forget to purchase plastik zippers once out. Yours look perfect.

Grand daughter, is always going to yard sales and gets me zippers, bias tape, lace and fabric when she sees it. I come out pretty good with what she brings,
109774It looks great! You should try her glasses cases! They are fun and easy to do too!

I probably will but I know very few people who use cases, most have contacts or use the hard cases.
59631The first bag is scary. After that, it's addictive! I really like your fabric - wool? How's home care going? And are you doing better, with help?

Yes help with his baths has really helped me. the therapy has helped also LOL me as much as him, he will not do his exercises unless I do them with him so we exercise every morning after breakfast, most are with him in his WC but a few are done with him standing and holding to the kitchen sink, trying to work on his balance. The PT has ended so it's up to me to keep it going. I think exercise of any kind is good for everyone. thank you for caring and asking/Lillian

I have started yoga Lillian I only do what I can & skip the rest that I can't do & the teacher is ok with that. The reason I mention this is because it has helped me with my balance quite a bit. I am no where near great but a little bit goes a long way. Once he is feeling stronger perhaps he can do some in his wc too
