Bags

So Chook's baritone playing has been changing lately. Changing as in, she's not enjoying it. Well, she wasn't enjoying her lessons - she was still quite keen on attending her band. So what we ended up doing was changing her teacher from the council run guy she sees at school to a private chap - it's been like night and day. We asked for 5 months for music for her to play for fun from the school guy - the week before the schools broke up for the summer holidays she was handed music from West Side Story. *blinks* She is not a stage musical girl. You'd think after 18 months he may have clocked this. In her first lesson with our new guy she was playing her favourite Panic! at the Disco tunes. Like I said, night and day. Anyhoo the upshot of this was we had to surrender her instrument to the council and lovely Tony (the new guy) lets her borrow his antique euphonium. But it had no case - mum to the rescue!

Black - obvs - with red piping. Her colours!

A pocket for mouthpieces and gubbins.

And a spotty lining. 

It's great for carrying but will also pop on her shoulder.

And her lessons? Well we've been with Tony since July and her baritone playing (even though technically she's playing a euphonium) has become even more distasteful to her. So she now gets a little horn playing and a LOT of piano! Which is coming along great guns. There's always a solution!

Also in the bag making stakes I had a request from Spouse for a holdall for when he's working away.  He never asks for anything, how could I refuse? His old faithful had about fallen to pieces so I took a pattern from it and ran with it.

Alright, eh?  Just simple but perfect for what he needed.

And hopefully that's the end of my utility bag creating for the considerable future!
