Well I failed to get my project completed. It did get started. I feel so terrible that it didn't get done. Life has just been getting in my way. I thought I was clear and ready. Then last weekend started cutting and sewing and much to my displeasure the pattern had me cut a wrong size of an item. (Should have cut 2 & 1/2 instead of 2 &3/8) Therefore, it didn't work. Then I didn't have enough fabric to make again so had to wait til Monday to get more fabric. Got to work Monday night on it little, but not enough. Tuesday we had sewer backup in our basement so I dealt with that Tuesday night after work instead of sewing. YUCK! Trust me I'd rather have sewn. Wednesday night was church. I thought I had Thursday night to myself.....But, low and behold hubby worked day instead of night....Sew I didn't get to my machine and here it is time to post and the project isn't completed. Sorry. Here are pictures of what is done.

It too will have the pink breast cancer fabric around it to make it the right size.
I know you all are going to ask Why is the bra pattern going to be inside the bag? Well, it is an inside family joke so I decided to put it inside the bag. The recipient of the bag will be my mom.
She has metastatic breast cancer that is now in her skull. She has had three treatments for this and is doing absolutely wonderful at this present time which we are all so grateful for. This picture was taken this past summer when we all found out her condition. Pictured are my two lovely daughters, that adore their G'ma, my mom and myself.
I really, really feel bad that this bag didn't get completed in time.

ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea. Your mother is going to love it. I do hope she gets better. I will say a prayer for her.
ReplyDeleteLife gets in the way. It does that. The bag looks like it is going to be spectacular (and I will be checking back to see if it is). Your mom will love her bag. I hope she will continue to do well on her treatments. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteA lovely bag that I am sure your mom will adore. Thanks for the support.
ReplyDeleteYour bag looks lovely so far, I'm sure your Mom will enjoy it. Great job.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project for your Mom! She will be honoured, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteI am given you support for at least trying to get the project completed, I think the paper piece bra is great and have already printed it out. I am sure that it will be great when you finish.
ReplyDeleteit is lovely and you still came to the hop and that is important and knowing your mom is doing well ...that is LOVE
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll be able to finish soon - and prayers for your mom and your family going up! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteIt looks to be a great start, best wishes and prayers to your mom!
ReplyDeleteYour bra pattern is cut and perfect for this being inside the tote. The lace and embroidery would snag every time she put something in it. I like the bag very much and the free mammogram is a life saving gift for some one. I'm in prayer for your Mother as is every one mentioned in this hop.
ReplyDeleteIt will be a wonderful gift for your mom. I hope she continues to do well.
ReplyDeleteI am sure your bag will be fantastic. Prayers and hugs for your mamma and your family.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a race...and your progress looks great. I love the paper pieced bra. Sending best wishes to your family!
