bag for the sister…
Last week I made a nature satchel for Simon’s upcoming birthday. He already suspects that the blue cordurouy bag is for him, but I have been trying to brush it off as nonsense. (He will be absolutely blown away, however, by the legos I ordered and baseball glove!)
So to be fair, I made one for Ellie too. I don’t always feel that I have to fairly give my kids things, but I was actually eager to adjust the original pattern. I am happy with the results and absolutely LOVE the fabric. A friend of mine gave me about a yard of the perfectly pink and polka-dotted magic. Ellie will love it and I believe she also suspects it is hers…man, no surprises around here.
She won’t get her bag until St. Valentine’s Day, so the suspense will have to continue.
I think I need to make more of these. They are EASY and fast. If only I had an afternoon to myself, then I would get down to serious business.
