Spotlight Shopping.

I went to Spotlight to look for more masculine fabric if they were on special. They have in my Spotlight store  (South Morang) a selection of fabrics reduced from $6 a metre and $10 a metre with an extra 30% off at the checkout.
One of the fabrics was reduced to $2 a which made it at $1.40 a metre, I bought the lot, 10 metres of it. Perfect for the laundry bag linings. The rest I bought 2 metres each at $4.20 a metre. Great value.
To give it perspective, Each laundry bag uses 2 metres of fabric with enough left over to make 1 quilt block.

Making Goodie Packs.

 No sewing this afternoon, I have been busy making the goodie bags to go with each laundry bag.
Each pack contains a card with a letter of thanks, Temporary tattoos of the Australian flag, popcorn, pen and emery board, lollies and a Tim Tam and a Cake in a cup mix.

 Having made a box up I discovered it was going to be over 2 kilos so I am packing them into boxes of 3.

Also in the box is a large crossword book and the 3 cups and plastic forks in the side and inside each laundry bag is an Australian Eucalyptus air freshener. A full box that weighs just a little less than 2 kilos.
A good afternoons work that will make the boxing up a breeze.

Cord And Sewing.

 A Big thank you to the two ladies at my ACDA club for this wonderful lot of cording. Black, cream and white.

 Adding them to my yellow and red makes for more variations to the laundry bags.

I have sewn a whole heap of laundry bag cord tops ready to assemble the laundry bags. Now that the weather is much cooler, my sewing machines run really well, much better than they do in the heat I can get a lot of sewing done.
