Straps

So this weekend I got started digging through the piles of unfinished projects stacked all over my apartment.  Trust me, there are a lot of them.  I grabbed the nearest thing that needed to be worked on, and ended up with some finished hot pink straps for children’s tote bags.  Woo-hoo!  Straps for five tote bags done.  May not seem like much of an accomplishment, but the straps are one of the parts I dislike the most.  So much ironing.  And I do NOT like ironing!  But once the straps are done, the tote bags tend to come together quite quickly.  Especially since the appliques for the bags are already done and sitting in another pile of unfinished project pieces.

Then I found this pile under some felt:

Um, yeeaaahhhh.  Kinda wishing I had left the felt where it was.  Out of sight, out of mind, right?  But now this big pile ‘o mess is parked on my ironing board glaring at me.  Judging me.  “You should have finished this long ago!  We will haunt your waking hours until you finish this most dreaded component of the project!  Aarrrrrrrrggg!!!”  Yeah, those strips of fabric are half-pirate.  Half-pirate and half-Jabba the Hut.  The fabric equivalent of a tell-tale heart.  Gah!
