SO my sister called me up to tell me she was coming around to do some shopping and I could go shop with her if I wanted to. SO I met her at Costco! She told me she was getting the camper ready to go. We saw they had a fanny pack for sale for like $18, but it was pretty big-and kinda ugly, and I said, well I can make a fanny pack!, SO I did!
This free pattern is from Sallie Tomato, here's the link to the video. Sallie Tomato You tube Video
I thought she might like an outdoorsy looking fabric and I love this batik fabric and I lined it in purple cotton fabric.
The pattern was not too bad to follow, but you do have to watch the video to get the assembly correct. I struggled with getting the buckle on the right way-you might notice I had to cut and sew the one end of the webbing! LOL!
It was basically a free project, I used some belting web I had on hand too, and the buckle is from a chewed up dog collar. Recycling/reusing at it's best!
I mailed it off on Monday and she got it on Tuesday! I was surprised she got it so fast!
I picked up DD and we went to the Spring Vintage Market Days in Eastern Iowa up at Hawkeye Downs.
Lots of stuff to see there and A BIG crowd!
The line to get in at opening time was all the way along the length of the building and back around again! It was crazy!
That's a painting on an old screen-pretty cool.
I'm thinking I might need a couple of these roasting sticks! They are sure heavy duty!
There was such a big crowd-and it was going for 3 days!
We had a good time looking at all the stuff! Still not very good at these selfies! LOL!
I forgot to mention the final stop for our day! We went to the Goodwill Outlet!
So neither of us had ever been to a place like this! They have these big tables/troughs/boats/? that they fill with stuff in the backroom. Then they roll out a new trough every 20 minutes into this big room where people are waiting to see what's in the trough, and the trough is covered with a table cloth- like a magic trick-the employee whips the cover off the trough and it's like a feeding frenzy with the people diving in there and digging around and pawing through the stuff in the trough! And when you first come in there are signs that say GLOVES ARE REQUIRED-huh? The guy at the check out stand told us they are for safety because they "don't clean or inspect any of the items" that are in the troughs, "you don't know where it came from"! Well I can see why after just watching for a few minutes!! Most of the people there were resellers, who look for stuff to re sell in ebay or whatsap or whatever. Quite an experience!
