Not a lot of updates on the garden. I do have a tomato blossom, soon to be flowers on the peppers/chiles, and the strawberries are doing well. The corn is out of the sprouter, and in a dozen pots. I'm thinking of putting soil down were the garden use to be to plant the corn. My lemon tree that I was starting to worry about is starting to sprout new leaves or branches. I didn't get any new pictures as the garden is in the shade by the time I get home, forgot yesterday, and it has been cloudy/rainy today.

I get to do a happy dance this weekend. I decided to do the second two bag projects from the free bag classes on
Craftsy. The class included how to do pockets and zippers.
This is my reversible tote:
Including three pockets (Not just one). I matched the pockets to the fabric's design to be more fancy.
I had fun Saturday doing the bag, even though I did get mixed up and didn't follow the teacher's instructions.
This was my Sunday project. The zipper was easy, once I caught on where the teacher was placing the fabric. I got more confused by the how to sew the bag because it was lined. Which sides you sew, and which you don't, because it is designed inside out. The instructor did use an interesting technique with the zipper. She didn't have us use pins to hold the zipper in place. We used glue from a glue stick instead. (Yes, a school glue stick). I've heard people feel challenged by zippers.
I still want to do a lunch bag. After looking at a blog post, I plan to take a pair of sleeper pants and try to replicate them too. Not often you see a person ironing a pair of sleeper pants, but they were wrinkled.
