And then, if I'm not completely desirous of the idea of doing some much-needed ironing, I shall do a little bit more work on a Pants Bag I'm making for Kathleen over at Crabbit Quilter - Kathleen kindly gifted me a bag of pink scraps which I said I'd only accept if she let me make her a Pants Bag.

So, some fabric choosing and a little drawing:

I got to this:

Very excited am I :)
