I was gifted a sewing machine for my birthday. I’ve never used one before, but I was told that making a pillow case was the best learner project. Since a pillow case is basically just a big bag, I got the idea from a YouTube channel called Skill Tree to instead make a gathering bag.

The bag itself is held to the case by a saddle stitch. I gave the front of it a sort of shield shape in order to show some of the fabric, making it apart of the aesthetic. The Celtic knot on the front was made with a stamp, but the negative space was darkened with an antique finish. This is the first time I successfully used an antiquing finish without darkening the entire piece.

    I need to make a pillow. I have just over a grocery bag full of husky fur that I want to use as stuffing. It’s gonna be a super plush pillow when I get more fur from my pup. Got another 3 or 4 years till I feel like I will have enough fur to stuff it
