pattern marked out - its going to be our deep teal colour. Onto cutting...

#makeathingaday update... Little leather internal pocket sewn (for your #opinel or other cutting implement). Side seams sewn (although not in this pic!). Seam binding next. Time for a coffee.

Starting to take shape... Sewing base seams on the beast. We think of her affectionately (the walking foot machine that is) as 'the beast' as she litetally is an animal and will sew through your fingers if you let her!
