Today has been pretty uneventful, other than the fact that I cleaned the bathroom! (Does anyone know of a good brand of shower cleaner? I just cannot find one to get my tub clean!) It is odd the sense of satisfaction that comes from accomplishing something so low on my list of things I like to do. Ok, actually... it's not on my list at all. BUT it was on my "To-Do" list for today... so I am just glad that it's over with and I can breathe a sigh of relief that the bathroom is nice and clean (... for now).
Anywho. After doing a few other things around the house (vacuuming and laundry are never ending)... I decided to check out a book that Cory got me for Christmas. I was in a sewing mood... but not something complicated. So, I busted out my SEW WHAT? BAGS! Book and found an instructional for a cute little tote bag. The directions were pretty easy... and overall, I probably only spent about 40 mins on it (and that was in between switching laundry and such!). I just wanted to share the finished product with you. But just remember... I am not a professional seamstress, sewer, stitcher or whatever you want to call it! I am still trying to sew in straight lines! LOL! But either way, I am pleased with my final product!
This is the first project I've done out of that book... and I enjoyed myself! Definitely would recommend it, especially if you aren't the kind of person who likes to mess with a pattern (like me!).
Hope you're all having a lovely day!! The snow is really coming down outside of my window! Too bad I don't have any hot chocolate in the house! :)
Devon,
ReplyDeleteIf you have a fiberglass tub, try some cheap shampoo. It's weird how well it cleans the tub! If you use a store bought cleaner, make sure to let it hang out a while on the surface so it can work-although too long and it will get dry and be gross.
If you have an older tub, try barkeepers friend. I use it on fiberglass too when I run into rust stains or just a really gross tub. It is one of my favorite products. (I clean cabins and used to clean houses)
I live near your sister and have known your mom and dad for years. Your dad and I used to go to church together when we were young. (I'm MUCH younger than him!) :)

The bag looks awesome Devon!!! Great job! :)
ReplyDeleteOn your tub...you can use baking soda and water to make a paste and then scrub your tub with a sponge/scratch pad thingy and that works pretty well! :)
super cute bag!
ReplyDeleteOkay... the tote is super cute and forget cleaning the tub. But, I am CURIOUS who Julie B. is! LOL!! Oh... I just got it! LOL!! A big bro graduated with Dusty! Whew! Another mystery solved! (I hope I'm right!?)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!! I can't sew worth anything, my attempts are just awful. I'm very impressed with your cute tote :)
