Thanks for the advice. I’ll definitely do that next time.

The bag looks great! Gorgeous fabric. :-)

If you ever run into that problem with the ties again (making them out of thicker fabric and it won’t turn) – try making them like double-fold bias tape instead. It’s the method I use for the handles in this free pattern http://wendigratz.blogspot.com/2011/04/mini-tote-free-sewing-pattern-pdf.html and you can make them any width you want. Just cut the fabric 4x the finished width you want.

They’ll be stiffer than the other method, but not having to turn some fabrics is a fair trade.

thanks for your post – i totally agree with you about sometimes temperate coast goodness being lost amongst more tropical dreams, although definitely here on the island there are a lot of artists inspired by the Canadian coast. so glad the urchin found a good home with you!

Ha :D Now I’m tempted to put on flesh coloured clothes and dance like a fool while showering and blasting cheesy 80′s music.

I think I will stick with my towel solution. I refuse to put time or so much as a dime into this apartment. It should have been done for me (of course, I should also have been given my 24 hour notice that someone would be in my apartment). Plus, I’ll be moving in a few months so I don’t want to bother with any upgrades to this place now.

You can still buy that plastic adhesive film stuff (we used to call it mack-tack when we were kids, god only knows what space-age name they have for it now) to put over windows like this.

Of course, you can also just be that sexy naked lady that everyone talks about at the water cooler. Whatever floats your boat. ;)

Good idea. I haven’t decided what, if anything, I will do (other then the towel solution). This window is right in my shower so I have to have a curtain made of shower curtain (that’s the clear plastic on the left). But, both the curtain and my actual shower curtain as see through, so I can’t even go pee without people being able to see.

I should do something, but in all likelihood, I’ll be moving out in a few months so I can’t be bothered to do anything more then what I already did (thank goodness I had some extra curtain wire I wasn’t using).
