  It seems that somehow the end of the school year has crept on me even more than usual... I suddenly realised last Sunday that the kids were about to start their last week, i.e. that teachers' presents were needed to be completed by the end of the week but I hadn't even made a start... I needed 4 this year and one was needed by Wednesday morning not Friday + Wednesday evening was the annual fete de la musique (music festival for the summer solstice) which meant that that was one last evening to work on the presents. I settled on the Zero Waste Wave bag pattern by bag.uettes that I had used extensively 2 years ago before our big move. I digged into my faux leather stash and found 2 sets of 2 fabrics that would work for the outside. The bag is not lined in the original pattern but my faux leather back is not necessarily pretty so I opted to line them. With the pieces all cut, first step was to make the handles, I opted for the spaghettis ones this time, which ends up being quit...

June is already more than half way over and I haven't had a chance to post a list yet... Maybe it is too late or maybe not, but hopefully I'll have a little more energy to finish a few things this month.... Quilting 1 .  Impromptu quilt - this one is back from quilting and only need trimming and binding, maybe I can do the trimming? Dressmaking 1 .  Aquarius dress - this one was my goal for last Sunday for my daughter's communion. It was wearable on the day but needs some fixing! 2. Top 3. Night dress 4. Kids summer PJs 5.
