Its just not working! no matter what I try, its just not working. You know that feeling when you can see it in your head but just can't make it? I have it in bucket loads at the moment. So my 3 hours child free has passed and now all I have made is a mess!
Never mind... smile sweetly and try again. 
This is the tool I used for the stars on the bag. Its called ShapeXpress. I have templates for leaves, stars and hearts in my kits so expect a lot of those in the next few moths. It cost me £10 and has been fun to use and is a lot quicker than cutting out by hand. It might be possible to use it on other templates but I haven't tried yet. Its a bit like using a Spirograph and you have to move your hand around the shape while pressing quite hard to cut the fabric.

sounds like a great shape maker, i am going to try and find them. As I can spend house cutting out various shapes for school. Do you think if I leave my quilt hexagon's out, Kirsty's elves will come and finish it for me?!
Oh I know how frustrating that can be, when you have limited time and things just dont pull together as they should, but isn't it a great feeling when it does all come right. I am sure your'mess' will turn into something wonderful very soon.
you were gaining skill and experience, not wasting time!! At least that's what I tell myself and it makes me feel better!
