Lillian's Blanket and a GIANT Bag...

So I just thought I would post the finished blanket for my niece...(sorry about it being kind of blurry!)

 

.

And now I wanted to show you the bag I made that can fit a small child in it!! Unfortunately everything doesn't turn out as planned....

 

I needed a "big" bag to take to church with me, it just ended up being a "giant" bag.

I started with 4 18X18 inch squares (2 outside and 2 lining) then I decided I wanted a flat bottom and added 6 inches there, then sides and added 6 inches there. So when it was said and done it was a lot bigger than when I started out!! But hey I wanted a big bag and I got one. So here it is....

 

 

I also did a pocket on the outside, although its hard to see.

Inside I added 2 pockets on one side.

 

And added a bunch of spots for pens and markers on the other side.

 

See a small child could easily fit in there!! ;)

I really like how it turned out, and I definitely plan on making more. Maybe just a smidge smaller though! ;)  Thanks for stopping by!!

Until next time....

Wallets for Everyone...

Apparently I forgot to post this last week. So I guess here it is....

I recently saw a post about a easy fold over wallet, and I thought to myself..."my kids would love one"! Not that they have any money to put in them, more for them to have fun with. 

So I went HERE, printed off my patterns, let the kids choose their fabric and got started. I was just playing around and I didn't have interfacing, so I didn't do it. I was also feeling too lazy to change my thread, so I didn't. ;) 

 

 

They came together very quickly and I like how they turned out. My boys loved the "secret" Velcro pockets. And Sawyer liked that there was a spot for his used iTunes cards too! :)

So head on over and check it out. Thanks for stopping by!!

 

Until next time....
