Magic Markers
I got started on making Magic Markers, or magical stitch markers, last night. They look so nice! I can’t wait to be able to share pictures, as this is my first try at making them and I think they look great! Instead of using wire, I used two strands of embroidery floss – I had wire, but didn’t like how stiff and unyielding they felt. I’ve decided to make 9 “normal” and 2 larger Magic Markers since I figure my spoilee could then use a larger one every 5 OR every 10 normal markers. I don’t know how most people like to use their Magic Markers, so I like to cover all my bases!
I stayed up WAY too late doing that, though, so hopefully I’ll find time for a nap today! I guess I just got too excited – I have five normal MMs to go, then I’ll be all set to start actually doing the prelim work on the bag. It’s all designed now – I made a few changes to my original design that I think will work better, but before I can do any sewing I have to get the decoration done (since I don’t have any gauge to work from) so I know how big I have to make the bag!!! I was a little worried that I was getting in over my head with the bag design, but with the changes I made (and a couple I have to figure out for the decoration) I should be fine. And then I’ll just want to make one for myself!
