Sugar Baby and Turban

I got sidetracked from my hexagons and Joseph's Coat.

Back on June 1st I won this wonderful fabric from Janelle and Kylie at Threads of Friendship. They had made a cute tote bag and I won everything that was left which included yardage, cut squares and prairie points.



I wasn't sure what to make until I purchased Ladyfingers & Sugar Baby bags pattern from Stephanie at Loft Creations.

Here is my version. The only change I made to the pattern is to make one long strap instead of two short handles. The Dresden's (my first) were fun as was adding the beads to each tip.



I have plenty left for a table topper or tote bag. Thanks Janelle and Kylie!

Then I received a request to modify a turban for my Mother. She wears a wig and likes a turban to keep her warm at home when she is relaxing. Forget the alteration - I made her a new holiday style turban using the pattern from Sewing.org.



Now it's back to my regular schedule which includes knee surgery tomorrow and our annual road trip to Charleston on Wednesday.

Your version of Sugar Baby is inspiring! Good luck with your knee surgery. I can imagine your feelings as my knee was already operated once.
