January Finish

 The first month of the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge is No 6 and this was the bag kit form Scrub Stitchin last year. It is finished, I used some bag wadding to stiffen it but it's a bit too stiff and was very hard to turn through and also pull up the draw strings, never mind, next bag I might just use it for the base. I did a quick crosshatch quilting design on the bottom sides and back and just a few straight lines on the bottom of the front. 

I have 3 lists this year, one list I finished the bag in previous posts which has now been gifted and the third list is quilting of which I did none this month it has been way to hot.


As a challenge to myself this year I am sewing 30 minutes per day for January I did 26/31 so not bad.

Well done with your challenge finish. your bag looks great.
You also managed to do most of your personal challenge stitching for 1/2hr each day.

Another great Scrub Stitchin' Bag. It looks great. 30 minutes each day is a big ask. Well done.
