I am my own worst enemy.

Go bury your head in your wing. Left to your own devices, you will think. You think too much, don't you? Are you as bad as you make yourself out to be?

Who knows?

Stop. Thinking.

Crushed Red Velvet

I put my sewing skills to the test today and made myself a prototype drawstring bag! I want one to tie to my belt for Anime Boston and therefore not need to lug a purse around during the convention. The bag I made is a little lopsided, but I did it within two hours and it was all hand stitched. I have tons of fabric, so I have a feeling I'll be making more before the middle of May. I'm happy that my skills haven't rusted beyond ressurection.

At the fabric store yesterday, I was looking for rugged, earthy brown type stuff to make bags and bracers from, and ended up getting beautiful 'crushed' velvet instead. I got a yard of brown, which is much more than I needed to begin with, but also couldn't pass up this beautiful cranberry red. There was only a smidge more than a yard left, so the fabric cutter asked if I just wanted the rest at a discounted price. I figured, why not?

I wish I had a sewing machine, though! It would make this so much faster.
