Welcome

This is a documentation of my journey seeking "my best self"
I am a blessed woman, 2 healthy loving sons and an abundance of all that one needs.
This is not a journey to more of the material stuff, but in seeking my passion and living my best life.
Due to illness, parenting, and busy everyday life, life has lived me instead of me living life.
The purpose of this journey is to turn this back one step at a time.
How will I accomplish this? This I will learn gradually, one thing I am sure of each day of my journey will take me closer to myself.

Blessings,

ETA: I am separated and I can assure you it is for the better. The boys and I are doing good, they are sad but at least they have some breathing space now and don't have to march to the beat of their father's drum anymore. I am more relieved than sad and feel freed from his constant state of depression and lathargic way of living.

Yoga bag drama...

Okay forget about all the other projects I told you about ;-) I started yoga and being me, having a yogamat (cute pinkribbon yogamat) in a large shopper that says intertoys, cramps my style LMAO

After searching for a yoga bag in all (3) sport related stores in this lil village and having very odd stares and a few recommendations for a large sportingbag to fit my yogamat I decided to continue my search online. I found one fell in love and after noticing the price fell back out of love real quick! Bagprices ranged from 45 euro's and up!!!

I decided that making a yoga bag would be a great challenge and project and would test all my new sewingskills. I searched all over the net for a free yoga bag pattern and found one

This project was turning out to be much much more challenging than I imagined. First of all all the measurements are in inches and my tapemeasure is in cm, so I had to start turning all inch into cm wich was horrible caus now I was left with measurements like 75.8 cm :-(

Than I discovered that I needed lining for the inside of the bag. Since I didn't have that either I decided to make the bag without lining. So far so good I cut out all the patternpieces and started assembling my bag. Only to discover that I cut the circle (bottom of bag) and added seem allowance wich wasn't nescesarry caus it was already in the pattern LOL So I had to trim some off didn't want to go back and remeasure so I just took a guestamate. Because the original patterns and explanation expects me to use the lining I had no idea how to attach the strap neatly. See they made it disappear somewhere in the lining. Well I did the best I could improvising and eventhought the bag is cute I will not take it out of the house LOL So now the bag is used for hanging the mat on my door for @home yoga.

I started making a new bag lining and all even cut out all the pieces but I want to adjust the pattern just slightly so the bag will close with a drawstring. Back to the drawingboard. Will keep ya posted.

Here is a pic of the first yogabag (modeled by dh) always great for a chuckle or 2 The fabric kind of sux but it was the only suitable fabric I had in the house. (fabric by ikea) The next bag will be dark purple with pink trimmings :-D

Blessings,


Chayil

Girl I would so sport that. I think it's cute!!! Besides at least you attempt it. But keep working on it until you get rid of all the flaws you notice. I can't wait to see the next one.
