ArtMind: Work in progress

Work in progress

The other day, someone send me an e-mail and asked me if I make the bags I use for my baking pearls myself. So here's some proof I do...

I think it's a great way to practise sewing straight and have something useful as a result afterwards.

But being still a slow sewer, it takes me forever to finish one! :)

I stamp the bags with a quick & easy 'stamp words' technique...

The fun part is that I can choose the color of the ribbon myself.

I do work in batches so I made a whole lot ready to be filled...

Hmm... I did not make enough ceramic pearls to fill 'em though. I hope there is a good movie on tv tonight! :)

It is so pleasant to look at your photos Mitsy!
Have a wonderful day (and evening with the movie and the "rolling")!

I can only imagine how tedious your work can be sometimes. Way to be dedicated and disciplined.

Gij gaat toch ook op de stielenstijl staan he? Ik wil alvast zo een zakske met bakparels reserveren voor mezelve!

Do you sand each individual baking pearl? That must take hours! They are all perfectly formed too. It looks like a relaxing job :)

Your attention to details, and the care you always take in the presentation of your work is fabulous!

(Might I add that your sewing is looking very, very good.)

Best wishes
