Tough choice...

I was faced with a dilemma this morning, after Little miss left for the Royal Melbourne Show with my lovely neighbours. Do I tackle this......

or this?
I chose correctly and had fun with hardware and tools.
A Saddler's Punch would have been great, but of course, I didn't think of that in advance, so a hammer and nail, and then an eyelet tool did the trick (poor chopping board!)
Careful lining up was required (my floor naturally slopes upwards in the middle, it is not trick photography).

A beautiful corner if I do say so myself.

To be teamed with this spunky flap.

Can't wait to do more tomorrow!

Love the way you are using the tapestry for the flap. I have picked up a couple of these and am intending to also use them for bags. Not sure how yet. Cherrie

Good work! Is that printed courduroy you're using for the bag? I'm going to attempt my first Nicole M bag in a few weeks and am completely stumped as to fabric ideas.

I think you made the right choice... sewing - always.

Can't wait to see the finished bag - love the tapestry flap.
