I went to Portland again last week. My original plan was to help the YM settle into his new apartment. He hasn’t found one yet, so I helped him job search instead. Mom didn’t go this time, which was weird. I tried to embrace the weirdness and I did ok. It was nice to be on my own.<\/p>\n

In my off hours I sewed. I brought my sewing machine and a few projects. The first thing I started was the Holland Pouch<\/a>. This is a basic boxy bag, which I bought at Stitch in Ferndale in July<\/a>. I bought the pattern as I thought it would be a good gift and I was too lazy to try and find a similar free pattern.<\/p>\n

One of the things I don’t like about Center Street Quilts patterns is that she doesn’t cover her zippers on the inside of the bag.

I have to say that CSQ had a GREAT chart showing how to deal with directional fabric. I am in love with this chart. It was so helpful and I am convinced that my cat fabric will not be upside down.<\/p>\n
