It's always quite fascinating how different fabric changes a pattern. The fabric has all been cut to the same size, but has gone together differently creating a slightly different silhouette.

Well that made me jump, a managed to get my finger under the sewing machine's needle. 😳

Sometimes you are in the zone, and don't realise you are not actually sewing. 🙄 That's the sign to walk away and return later.

"more haste, less speed" it means that trying to do something too quickly often leads to mistakes, forcing you to stop, fix them, and take longer to finish in the end. But 'haste' means hurrying too much.
The Latin phrase 'festina lente' , meaning "hurry slowly" makes more sense. Today "Festina lente" is in force.

Well, that certainly worked the ole grey matter. It's a nice little fully lined tote bag. The lack of instructions added to the challenge but I'm pleased with the result., 🛍️ 🪡

I bought myself a pattern. And it was literally just the pattern. No instructions. It claims to be for beginners, for people learning to sew, I would say I'm not bad at sewing and this has certainly been a challenge. The high definition colour illustration is next to my little finger. 😅
