An Item of Mostly Girly Silliness
Here is a truly one of a kind crazy idea. While making one of the bags
this came as an inspiration to me for doing something that might be considered somewhat "Off The Charts". My wife shakes her head when she sees it and wonders if this whole sewing thing has gotten out of hand. I, on the other hand am convinced that I am onto the next, latest, accessory, that is a must have. Your opinions may vary, but I hope you will accept it in the spirit of openness, that this group is known for. Or at least quirkiness.

It would best be used in a setting of dry refuse, rather than for pealing fruit or other not so dry endeavors. Although, It can be washed in the machine and restored to pristine condition, as may be needed. She is slowly coming around as she just told me that she is liking it more and more as she sees it in place in her office. He, He, He. John |

Love it, love it, love it. John, as good as all your work is, this may be my favorite thing you've ever made. Sunny dying for a girly wastepaper basket It really was pretty easy to do. It took one full day to do it, from start to finish. I used the stiffest Pellon interfacing, and a poly batting under the quilt top, and a wheat colored canvas for the interior. I made and quilted the entire cylinder, and then joined the ends. that made it much easier to quilt as a flat piece, rather than as a tube. I suggest a Jeans Needle for everything except the top piecing. There is kind of a struggle, folding all that mass of fabric, when attaching the bottom to the completed cylinder, but slow and easy wins the race. I graded the various layers by cutting them to size, just like on clothing construction, and that helped reduce the bulk. I am going to make myself one, (of a Manly nature), out of some civil war fabric in a completely different pattern, but the same dimensions. I envision it's usage at the end of the cutting table, on the floor, to handle all the larger cutoffs, of whatever I am working on. The waste baskets, in use in my sewing room, are all hardwood, and much to heavy when judged against the lightness of this one. I think that they would be a great addition to any sewing area, as most of the wastage is dry, and wouldn't bother the fabric. You could, of course, place a plastic liner bag within and solve that problem if it is one. Give it a go, and I think you will have fun. John |

I enjoyed looking at your bags and the waste basket.
