Weekends are for sewing projects!

Urgh. I have a sore throat and a red nose and watery eyes from sneezing too much last night. It's obviously an allergic reaction to something, but I can't figure out what.

Anyway. It messed up with my plans to play with code yesterday, but at least I managed to finish the bag I was making for my aunt!

Here are pictures (clicking on them will take you to Flickr):



I wanted the inside lining to be pretty as well, so I made it the same way I would have a reversible bag. This one isn't reversible, thanks to the zip. Zips are annoying. Most of the bag is pretty neat, but the zip part . . . well . . . crooked lines everywhere. I gave up trying to fix it.

Why is there a zip? My aunt asked for one. "I don't do zips," I told her. Did she listen? Nooooo.

But it's mostly done (I need to tidy up some of the seams), and she's coming here with my parents today so she'll get the bag in a few hours. \o/

Next up in my project list: a bag for arianur. Why does everyone want bags? Why can't you guys want, oh, I don't know, bookmarks instead?

I think I'll give bug 1813 a go a bit later. And maybe check and see whether there are still things in dreamscapes to do.


. . . Also fix my own layout I have there for submission. I keep thinking I should change some things before starting to convert it proper, but I keep putting it off. It seems like I'm having more fun poking stuff other people made than fixing my own!


Edit: ooh oh oh, I forgot to mention this! My first patch got committed this week! There was a lot of squeeing going on because of this XD.

That bag is adorable!

Hooray for maybe picking up Bug 1813 \o/

There's a couple of older layouts that still need converting, if you want to try that again :-)

And congratulations on your first patch! Awesome job on that.

Thank you! Now if I could just sit down and actually finish the bag and get it out of the way . . .

You're the best cheerleader ever. Of course, it could be because you have a vested interest in things, XD -- my friends give me odd looks when I tell them I spent the weekend fiddling with code.

The patch still makes me go eeeee!

Heehee, oh that is quite true. I do have a vested interest in things! (And also, I really love coding for Dreamwidth and I love seeing people sharign the same love. My friends give me odd looks the same way too XDD )
