Mmmm, Pizza!

I'm doing Weight Watchers - have about 3 stone to lose. I also love pizza. Not a good combination. So, I've been making tortilla pizza and it's really nice.


It's only 5 points, so not too bad for lunch!

I ordered some fabric from ebay. Light green with numbers on and I thought it would be ideal for my maths activities with the little ones. I teach children from 2.5 to 7 years old. So, I set about making this little bag. It's drawstring with a hanging loop at the back. I need to finish off the ties by joining them together, but that won't take long.

New bag for a new term

So, my laptop has gone to computer heaven. I am gutted as I had saved all the web pages I use and now I've lost them all. Ah, well - start again.


I regularly buy Sew Hip magazine and I made this bag from the most current issue (9). It didn't use much fabric at all really - I bought cheap stuff from Ikea, but I like it. The longest part was cutting the pattern and fabric, the sewing up of the actual bag was really quite quick and easy.







The side fabric:

And the inside:

I am especially proud of the inside pocket. It's divided into two and fits my mobile phone in perfectly!

I start school again on Tuesday, so this will be my new school bag. Just the right size for my diary, stickers and pencil case.
