Squaring Up

 I was very tempted to tat over the weekend. But I have another order for jewellery bags and I need to prepare for Saturday's market, so I got on with sewing bags instead. 

People who are experienced in using a cutting mat will say, "Duh!" But, new to me,  I discovered that when cutting the strips into bags, I need to make sure the ruler is aligned with the whole grid on the mat, not just the part covered by the fabric. I knew that using a rotary cutter and mat would need practice and experience. I'm not yet up to patchwork standards!
