I'm Helen. I'm a wife and mom and I work from home as a telephone advice nurse. 'Triage' is from a french word meaning 'to sort'.
In nursing, it means to determine the level of urgency of care needed- so I'm a sorter of sorts:-)
In my free time, I like to bake and do home projects, like painting (walls, not pictures) My current passion is making handmade soaps and other bath and body goodies.
Trying new options
Posted on September 23rd, 2008 in Juicybags
Here’s the little red bag I made today. I experimented some more with this one, adding a denim lining and the back pocket sewn in for a cellphone/pen pocket.
This one I learned a few things on– test the fabric before using to see if it’s stretchy. It’s hard to sew with stretchy material!
I think making the lining would have been so much easier with nice non-stretch denim….although I do like the black with the cherry red drink pouches. It also looks more faded in some parts of the denim which I think looks cool.
Back to work in the morning for a set of 2 days and 2 nights, so probably won’t get a lot of sewing done. Oh well….gotta make a living too!

Well, I could do the sides in black, like the red shoulder bag, but the drink pouches are pretty colourful. There are purple pouches(grape) but maybe she’d prefer the Capri Sun pouches…all rather bright tho- no black.
