I started cutting the fabric for a framebag for a Salsa Fargo tonight. I’ll spread the fabric cutting over two nights in order to get enough sleep to pedal in the morning. I had to force myself to call it a night, but I think it’s the right thing to do.

Let’s make something!

Got some new goodies in today. Zipper feet, flexible light and some thread. Is it sad that this it what excites me?
