quick birthday present (for a 3 year old)
so, i am blessed to have an incredible fabric stash, inherited from my grandmother. it comes in really handy for days like today.
the kind of days when you realise that you have not yet bought a present for the three year old, whose birthday party you are attending the next day. a quick fossik in my fabric stash box, and i pulled out the perfect fabric with neon pink and purple flowers - just what a three year old girl needs.
so i made this bag up today, lining it with black and white polka-dots (also found in the fabric stash). it was pretty quick to put together, i just sewed the lining and fabric together, then zipped down the sides. i ended up sewing the strap on by hand, as it just seemed easier that way. now all i have to do is wrap it up!

Hey, nice work! I love that you have an inherited fabric stash... so cool. Love the family link. I've got a few bits and pieces from the mother-in-law (who taught me the sewing basics only last year) but other than that my stash is from savers/op-shops.
I'm sure there's a little girl out there putting treasures in that bag right now...
thanks gina. i feel pretty special having an inherited stash. and its been has been growing too, also via savers and op-shops. so many fun fabrics to do great things with, a girl should never wander past an op-shop without a good look for fabric!
