After correcting anything you need to correct, get a large piece of fabric (non-stretch) and test out every one of the decorative stitches. This will give you a chance to experiment as well as a guide to how they really stitch out.

I'm with @realale on this one. Sounds like all you need are some drawer organizers, whether store-bought or improvised.

Not when it comes to bold fabrics; I love them! My bigger problem, in getting started, is a lack of ideas.

The fabric is stunning! Why is it called a “beanie baguette” bag?

@Greybird I have 3 of these, in varying sizes. The smallest one is just 3”- small enough to take with us on trips. This way, we can meditate with it, wherever we are.

@Lowena that is a lovely bowl! What is its diameter? (It looks large). I imagine it has a nice deep tone.
I have 3- the largest is 5" (12.75 cm) in diameter.

It's a bowl that can be made of brass or crystal. Mine is brass. It can be struck like a bell or rubbed around the outside, with a wooden mallet, to make sound. It is often used in meditation. Here is an example;

Is it lined with anything protective or just two layers of fabric? I always worry about damaging my singing bowl when I travel with it (but I do only have one rights now so I'm protective off it).
It’s lined with the same cotton fabric as is on the outside.
@stephanelli is your singing bowl brass or crystal?

It’s just a lined drawstring bag. I made it, to take my smallest singing bowl with us on trips. We can meditate anywhere!
The only challenging part was that I made the casing a different way than I usually do, using the matching fabric. I had to make it kind of narrow, as I made the whole thing out of a single fat quarter, so I only had so much of it.
I used flat paracord for the drawstrings, as I have a lot of it. Anyway, here it is;

Thank you all for the kind words. I got a chance to wear it today, for a week bit of gardening. Nice & comfy.

Embroidery and Embellishment / My Bonsai Apron
« on: May 09, 2022, 17:19:29 PM »
One of my friends from the Quilt Guild had sewn this pretty, old-fashioned wrap apron. It’s nice & long, covering my clothing, all the way below my knees. Why she sewed this, I have no idea, as she is just 5 feet tall. Since it doesn’t fit her, she kindly gave it to me. As it is a nice light weight, it is perfect for working on my Bonsai, on warm summer days. So I added a little embroidery
