It's been months since I've spent much time at all in my sewing room. I did reasonably well this last week at climbing the stairs to do a bit of stitching. Part of the time in my sewing room has been spent regrouping and deciding what to tackle first, second, and third.
I've been working on grocery sacks for Grad Girl, her roommates she left behind in Stillwater and My Guy. I decided to finish these before tackling any of my other UFOs. Grad Girl's bag was finished before Labor Day so it could make the trip to Texas with me.
These bags are fully lined, so they are reversible.
The math fabric was left over from a graduation quilt and the gray interior has been in the stash for awhile. I really like how the last one turned out.
The fabrics in this one are left overs from Grad Girls chemistry quilt I made a few years ago. There are two grocery bags left to finish. They just need the handles attached and the final top stitching added. Those will probably get done this week. Then I'll need to sort out where to start on my UFO projects.
If you are interested in the pattern you can find it here, it's a free download at the Fat Quarter Shop.
Linking up with Monday Making, Monday Design Wall, and Patchwork and Quilts.

Those are such great bags! Thanks for sharing the link with me the other day in your email, too. I'm not surprised that so many people in your friends and family are requesting them!
Those science and math fabrics are just perfect for a fun shopping bag. I'm sure they'll all love them!!! I might have to make some myself so thanks for the link.
