Tough Decision, should I sew a rag bag or should I clean?
 
Am thinking of sewing this bag....http://emmigraceandme.files.wordpres...-tote-blog.pdf. Now the tricky part, I took apart my laundry room and found lots of flannel, this might be an evening of sewing for a bit and then going into the laundry room. The bag is cute don't you think?

Of course you should sew a rag bag. :) The cleaning will still be there tomorrow or the day (or week) after. :p

No question, sew. The cleaning won't go away and will be there another day.

Absolutely. Sewing trumps labor.

Well have not been able to get to actual sewing, yet. :(

I must admit that I like sewing and living in a clean environment; perhaps you could clean and then admire your house while working on that rag bag! Sometimes if you let it go too long it gets depressing thinking about how much you have to do!

What is this "cleaning" you speak of?!

No problem . If I had a pattern I wanted to do had the fabric and was ready to start off I would go. When you have a break to make a drink or..... Take the feather duster and keep fit while the kettle boils . Done both and exercised for the day. No problem.

Thanks for the link. I printed out the pattern and I just might try it. In reading the Tips part of the directions she said, "Pin perpendicular to your sewing and just sew right over the pins, then pull them out when you are done with the seam". She said that it would save you time in the end. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS! It will not save you time if you have to make a trip to the Doctor. I always try to remove my pins. One day I was going too fast and went over a pin. If I had not been wearing my glasses the broken needle would have gone into my eye. I'll get off my soap box now. All that said there will always be cleaning to do. Again thanks for the link. BrendaK

SEW! If you clean and then sew you will just have to clean again!
