Summer Bag Sewing using Manchester Metallics

As mentioned in a previous post, I am participating in a summer sewing challenge sponsored by Sew Mama Sew using Manchester Metallics by Robert Kaufman fabrics. Here's a sneak peak at what I am working on.


I love collaborating with Sew Mama Sew.  The challenge is summer bag sewing and these are the fabrics that I chose:

1/2 yard of natural Essex E014-1242 NATURAL 
1/2 yard of onyx SRKM-15373-181 ONYX
 1/2 yard of indigo CCCX-14114-62 INDIGO

 
You can't tell by the picture but the Onyx is very sparkly and shiny.  It's more silvery grey than black.   I decided to use it for the applique for this project.

I am using shiny silver thread because it was in my stash.   I haven't used this thread since I made myself a silvery Halloween costume.


 Here's the finished applique.  If you've seen my work, you'll know that I love to applique on everything.


 Look, it's a bike!


But we are not done yet... time for some quilting.


 I didn't go over the applique, just stitched straight lines around it.


Were these pictures enough of a hint as to what I am making?  Stayed tuned for my next post for the big reveal...

    2. Swimsuit

    In case you are planning on buying a simple, conventional swim wear or one piece beachwear to renovate your beach wear choice, you are simply wrong. There are loads of varying brand new styles for summer season of 2019 to select from. Because you will invest most of the moment on the beach from daytime to nighttime, there's a sort of beachwear standard as well as stringent style rules to observe: a specific beachwear fashion for each moment or scene of the day. And given that we want it both chic, sexy and hiding our tiny complexes, there exists a lot of online boutique featuring a trendy selection of the best brands in the world.

    3. Summer beach towel

    Whether drying off after swimming, lounging on the sand, or setting out in the sun with sunscreen of course, a beach towel is a summer season must-have. But not all beach towels are created equivalent. To make sure you're purchasing the very best beach towel possible, there are some crucial beach towel shopping pointers you must consult ahead of buying:

    Fiber content: Generally, beach towels are made of 100% cotton terrycloth, but more alternatives are available in microfiber fabric. Cotton has the timeless looped design that's more luxurious and absorbent, while microfiber has a smoother surface and dries quicker.

    Use cases: If you are using the towel mostly for relaxing on the sand, attempt a sand-resistant choice or relaxing beach blanket. A more luxurious, absorbent option is much better fit for drying off post-swim at the pool or beach.

    4. Summer Accessories

    Brighten your try to find summertime's longer days, warmer nights, and beachy afternoons with casual, resilient canvas-inspired devices. Not just are they made for the fresh air, they also pair perfectly with your preferred warm-weather staple: khaki trousers.

    A vibrant headscarf, a lightweight leather bag and sophisticated sunglasses are the best accessories for a warm summer season day. French watch and jewellery maker Cartier has actually produced a stunning series of summertime accessories for ladies to illuminate your style.
