A Bag, Anyone?

-

Currently I am in the process of making a fabric bag, the one labled C in the upper left on the pattern cover. I picked up this Butterick pattern during the pattern swap at the Pattern Review weekend in NYC this past May.

As I read the pattern instructions, I decided I wanted a bit more information on how to contruct a bag. So I went to my trusty computer to find information on bag making and found this great site on bag making  for newbies  by Lisa Lam. The site also give some good info on interfacing which helped me, because I am using Calico fabric that needed some support.

If you have any tips to share on bag making your ideas and suggestions are welcome.

Install Rain Barrel and Compost Tumbler

Growing up we always had rain barrels, and this growing season, I wanted to incorporate a rain barrel in my garden and added composting for a bit of sustainability. A local botanical garden offers free classes on sustainability, using native plants and rain garden. I thought of doing a DIY rain barrel but with all the planting I was doing, a bit of help is worth it, so I bought a rain barrel and compost tumbler, got a good deal from my town.

I bought 2 Oatey system so I may make that DIY rain barrel yet :-). I started with building the stand for the barrel on a Sunday. I used concrete 12in x 12in stepping stone pavers and 4in x 8in pavers, I created a pattern and stack them, I did use pieces of slate to level the barrel. I kept the stand low so I did not need to make it permanent, I like that I can move it anytime I wish. I dd

DIY Self Watering Planter

Ok. it started when I tried to grow tomatoes last year but forget to water when needed, it didn't go well and the plant died. I decided self watering is the way for Tomatoes, but the cost of container deterred me for a bit. I Marie Kondo the house at the start of the year, and I was left with a few empty Rubbermaid totes. I search online how to make a DIY Self watering container using the totes.. There are many videos online, but found this video on  Wicking Bed Build  to be very clear. I used 2 liter soda bottles, donation from friends. I added the holes in the bottom and cut off a few inches off the top of each bottle. I found it tough to cut the holes in the Rubbermaid lid, so be carefully when cutting.   I chose to include the PVC pipe to make it easy to fill (many uses for PVC pipe online).  I added two overflow holes, one on either side of the long side of the tote.  I covered the top of the pipe with piece of landscape fabric and a hair tie to keep it
