Learning Lining

Ever since I started making my cosmetic bags,

there has been a steady move upward in quality.

BUT....

There was still one thing I could not figure out.

Lining.

LINING!! WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND YOU?!

Alright, now that that is out of my system, let me explain....

I was feeling pretty confident in the way my bags were looking,

But one thing that always seemed to bother me was this...

I know I could have just settled with this. I mean... it doesn't look that bad...

right?

Well, I knew it just wasn't good enough for me.

So then I thought,

"Why not just sew a border around the outside edges to hide the inside ones?"

So for a few bags I did this...

At first I was thinking,

"Ok, this could catch on."

But I knew it wasn't THE BEST.

And if you want to be the best you have to do your best.

So then, last monday night 

I had a DREAM!!

But not just any dream, 

A DREAM on how to finish my edges.

I know that dreams are inspiring and this is proof of that.

So, I thought, 

"Hey! Why not do that finishing border INSIDE the bags,

instead of on the outside?"

SHAZAAAAAM!!!

Onward and Upward. 

I love having dreams about sewing.
