I've been wanting to move my blog away from Blogspot for a while but could never be bothered to actually do it. This week was the tipping point though, and I've now fully migrated over to https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ . The blogspot address will remain here but all new posts will only appear at https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ . There are lots of reasons for the move but my biggest one is how hard Blogger has made it for people to subscribe to receive new posts via email. It's such a basic requirement but apparently, they think it's too much to offer. I'm basing this purely on how I myself prefer to consume this stuff. I can't be arsed with feed readers anymore and emails are easy and convenient. When I receive one, if I fancy reading it, I will click through to it and, if not, I'll just delete it. Another reason is the spat between Google (owners of Blogger) and Instagram/Facebook/Meta. I don't even know if this is still the case anymore
Man, keeping up with blogging while the children are at home is H-A-R-D! Much harder than I thought. I cannot work out where my time goes. School holidays = time blackhole.
However, I have managed to find lots of time to get some sewing and other things done. Which is a good thing as I can share the stuff here when I get round to photographing them all.
Today I have my QAYG (Quilt As You Go) sunglasses case to show. I took an amazing QAYG class over at Craftsy a few weeks ago. The instructor, Tara, is so so so so helpful! And she seems to be very nice, too. After the class, I couldn't wait to try the technique but I was too scared to try the actual bag. So I thought I'd make a sunglasses case.
Isn't it super cool??? I'm in love with it. And although it looks quite straight here all I used was scraps which I didn't even bother to square up. The straightness is just a happy coincidence. The back is a little more wonky, as you can see here.
