Mug bag take 2

Yesterday afternoon I had another go at mug bag creating...I made my own years ago and remember starting with a  cd to trace around to make the base, so thats what I did, it was interesting trying to measure around the cd with the tape measure, slippery little thing!!
Anyway after some sewing and unsewing I finished up with these
I am much happier with these, and the mug actually fits inside!! Yahoo!! 

The stitchery is finished and pinned to the backing, now to do the appliqué and hanging sleeve. I have enjoyed stitching this but am happy to have the finish..I have checked all the arms and legs and am confident no one is armless or legless!  Now I need to do somereally boring sewing...yep I have to hem some new jeans!! But first I think I will go for a walk, the sun is shining this morning and it isnt super windy.
Have a great day.

  6. Good to see that stitchery finished. You are like me having to check and recheck that all the stitching is done. New jeans? I wish I could find some that fit.

  10. The mug bags are very cute... and the stitchery is gorgeous! As for hemming jeans... Ikkkk so boring! I always put off mending type jobs till I have no choice but to do it... though I think Stew is still waiting for some pants to be hemmed from, ummm... a couple of years ago! Whoops!
