I am done - giving remaining seeds away
Comments (37)Hello, I'm a newbie here. Someone locally refered me to the TN forum and now I have found my way over here as I have an extreem love of lilies. Not only am I a newbie to this website I am a newbie to gardening. I purchased my first house a couple years ago, and in the process of trying to spruce up the outside I discovered i love gardening. I was trilled to see my lilies come back the following spring! If you have anymore seeds left I would LOVE to give them a nice home in my beds!!! Anykind will do :o) I can email you my address!...See MoreClick bags.
Comments (33)Click Bags Supplies needed to make 2 bags: 2 fat quarters 18” x 21/22”, one a print, the other complimentary or solid. (many fat quarters are now 18” x 21’ and that will change the size of your bag and the cutting instructions.) One metal tape measure. I prefer ¾” wide ones. You can use 5/8” wide ones, just make your folds ¾” then 1”. Directions: Cut 18” x 22” fabrics to 9” x 22” (stack them to cut) Cut 4 ½” off the length for the tabs, now your fabrics will be 9” x 17 ½” and 9 ½” 4 ½”. Cut the 9” x 4 ½” to 4 ½” x 4 ½”, you now have 8 squares, 2 of lining and 2 of outside fabric. You will use the lining fabric for the tabs. Fold 2 squares for each bag into a triangle and press. Fold the triangles into half to make smaller triangles and press. You now have made your tabs. Fold purse pieces (9” x 17 ½”) in half, right sides together, sew ½” side seams. Make diagonal corners on lining and outer fabric pieces and stitch across about 1” from point. Turn outer fabric right side out. Tuck lining fabrics into outer fabric, wrong sides together, pin around the top. Fold over top edge to the outside, 3/4” and pin. Fold over top edge again, 1 1/8” and pin. Take 2 triangles (tabs) and tuck one on each side of purse (centered) and pin. This is when you need to have a drop arm on your sewing machine! Stitch around edge to make casing, leaving open about 1 ½” at one of the seams for inserting tape measure. At this point I sew down the one side seam to keep the 2 pieces of tape measure apart when inserted. Open your tape measure ALL THE WAY and using old, crappy scissors cut it away from the case. Cut one end of the tape rounded. Hold the tape up to the bag and see where you need to make the next cut for the length needed (you will need 2 pieces about 8” each for each bag). Cut other end of tape to rounded. Slide tape into casing. Do the same with the other side. Finish sewing the 1 ½” opening (the tape folds easily so you can do this), then sew up and down the last side seam to keep tape from shifting. Warning: when cutting the tape measure, you can get very tiny slivers of metal that are very sharp. Be careful not to get any on the floor. I cut mine while holding it down into a trash bag in a can!

Comments (2)Lucky you ont gal! Sounds like a good plan. And what a generous gift from Kathyg! I do wish our mail would arrive sooner!...See MoreIt’s another give away! Only this time it’s rice bags.
Comments (36)PS — kathyg, you’ve probably already thought of this, but if /when I am mailing these, I make the colorful cover, and sew the case leaving about a 2” opening so that the recipient can add their own rice with the help on a printer paper cone or funnel. Then they can just hand or machine stitch to close that opening. I use the cheapest white rice I can find, in a large bag at the grocery store. Shipping these empty, withou rice is much easier on your wallet. PS When the rice feels too broken down or toasted, I just cut off the top of the liner, empty out the rice. Wash the liner to remove rice dust, dry liner, then add replacement rice, and stitch the top back up. Bada Bing....See More- 5 years ago
