Chookshed Challenge this month is COMPLETED

I did it.

My February challenge is done. It took a while but I got there.

Oh I’ve twisted one of the handles. I’ll unpick and resew it later…


I pulled out my greens to get this made and I am really happy with it.


Have you noticed all the zips and pulls I have used.




There are 3 pockets in the centre. This has room for me to put all the patterns instructions so they are kept with the rulers.


I have machined the first side of the binding and started hand stitching to finish it. There is so much fabric and makes the edge very stiff.


Slow stitching the bindings down. The binding done this way also helps give the bag strength and stability.


Here it is all finished. The back of the bag.


The front of the bag with rulers in the pockets.


I inserted a cake board in the centre pocket to give it strength so the bag wouldn’t sag. The rulers are fragile and this will help protect them.


You can have a look at the rulers her.

With this months finish I can link up with

It was a lot of work but so worth it. A great idea to have the completed block in the background of each ruler. Now you will have to use them.
