I was scrolling through the photos on another camera I have and BAM! I completely forgot that I had taken these photos! SWEET! So check it...I, (on a whim...per my usual), decided to make these little bags for two nieces that came to town alllll the way from Texas! Did I mention they drove alllllll the way to the Land-o-Lincoln!?! Clearly I thought they needed more fun things to do in the car...I mean you can only play car bingo so much right!?
I found the super fun fabric at a local quilt shop and at JoAnn's.
I stuffed the bags with my interpretation of the "essentials" for any auto trip.
Included: Coloring\Activity Book | Crayons | Pencils | Pencil Sharpener (with shavings catcher...duhh) | Goldfish Crackers | Gum
When I was google-ing tote bags for inspiration I came across The Happy Zombie a blog by Monica from Oregon...of all the undead things her blog is by far the coolest! Monica posted, back in Sept. '09-ish, an AWESOME pdf pattern entitled Poochie Bags - Fat quarter friendly freebie. Check it out peeps and the rest of her zombie-licious blog for that matter. Such a fun project to make!!
No bag is complete without CUPCAKES!!
I used some chunks-o-felt to create these scrumptious little monogrammed cakes. I sewed the ribbon on the back and attached some velcro so they could loop it around whatever they choose. Til next time...Enjoy You're Life!!
You've inspired me! I'm (attempting) to make a rocket ship poochie bag. Did you make your's without the milkcarton corners?
ReplyDeleteAnne~I'm so happy to inspire! I did use the milk carton corners. I thought it would make it easier for them to fit more than just a few books in there. Such a fun project!
