Last couple of years I hadn't participated in Rainbow Scrap Challenge also known as RSC. To think the first year I did was in 2013 and went on thru to 2018, so this year I'm back in but this year I'll be putting a twist on it. Instead of using my scraps on quilts I'll be making bags.
I will be making a variety of different types and styles.
My thoughts are to make ones mainly for holding my knitting or crocheting projects.
Seeing how I just didn't have my sewing Mojo last month I needed to make last month's color pink along with this months color yellow.
For January I had a bag of scraps with muted pinks, I'm a muted girl.
So I cut the pieces into 3 1/2 squares which was the largest squares I could get from the scraps.
Made a drawstring bag this time, I have have a list made of so many different styles.
This bag is big enough to hold the shawl I have been knitting.
On the inside I added a clasp ring to hold scissors and place markers.
Here is January RSC20
This shawl I started on the day I went to the Oncologist for the first time back in October. I would knit on this while being driven to visits, while waiting and during chemo. Now with the radiation Im not sure how that will work out. It's pretty close to being done.
This is start of this months bag.
Had this package of precut hexagons but not enough to make anything of good size. Good enough for a bag though.
Till next time

That’s the cutest drawstring bag! Perfect for knitting or crocheting projects! I’ll be anxious to see the hexie one!
ReplyDeleteThank you The drawstring bag is my go to design. It’s quick and easy to make and can make it any size you want. I not sure what design yet I make with the hexies
DeleteWelcome back and nice job on making RSC21 work for you!! Your pink knitting bag turned out just right for that lovely shawl project. LOVE those sunny YELLOWS in February's project. Hoping your treatments aren't too rough on you.
ReplyDeleteThanks and it feels good to be back here and in my sewing room. Will try to spend as much time as I feel fit to and do hope the next treatments are too rough. I’ll have 31 treatments, seems like so many.
DeleteGreat twist on doing RSC this year! Having an immediate purpose for your color pulls is a good way to keep your mojo motivated. Nothing like giving cute bags from one hobby to another!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great point that using one hobby to make and use for another. Never thought about that before. I think it’s a doable way to be able to keep up each month. Plus my plan is I’ll a few gifts this Christmas.
DeleteIt's a wonderful idea to make bags from your scraps.
ReplyDeleteYour bags from scraps are a great idea. Different patterns for different challenges make life interesting. Your shawl is very pretty. I too enjoy knitting, the rhythm of the needles is so relaxing. Sorry you're going through chemo but I'm glad to see that you've planned a few things to keep your hands busy as well as your mind.
