Even during the decade when I wasn’t quilting, I occasionally wandered into a fabric shop and bought a pattern or yard or two of fabric. A few years ago I bought a portabellopixie pattern that I have been looking for for a few months. I knew it had to be somewhere, but hadn’t had any luck finding it. Last night I gave it another big effort, and turned my attention to the office closet that holds most of my old craft supplies. I finally found it, along with two other patterns, a sewing necklace I made in high school, and a bag of fabric with five prints…one of them the coveted pez print from Peas & Carrots!
I was so excited to see a ‘hard to find’ print from a period I thought I’d missed out on! I looked at the stack long enough to remember buying them for the purse pattern–I hadn’t been able to decide on the floral print or the pez fabric, and so I bought both with enough coordinating fabric to make two bags. Of course, I wish the pez had been the coordinating fabric so that I’d have a yard of it instead of just 1/3 of a yard! But I’ll take what I can get!
I’ve asked my mom for this sewing pattern so I can make another one. It’s a handy little accessory to have!
And I’ll add to my list making the pez bag I had intended to make and maybe I’ll even make the floral version, too!
Lee - No way! I wish I would magically discover some Pez in my closet. : )
