Girl-Sewn

Ever since the girls bought their Mini Pink they've been wanting to sew.  I admit that it tests my patience to sew with both of them.  Next project I think we will do one at time.

This time they made themselves a bag for their Bible and Book of Praise for church.  It was actually a perfect project.  It was simple but the end result was cute and very useful.


I used an "It's so easy" Simplicity pattern (5151).  I've had this pattern for ages but haven't made it yet.  Instead of interfacing I used a thifted white sheet to make the bags a bit more sturdy and that worked great.

Funny face photo.  Is this necessary when you take photos too?

  6. I saw a similar bag recently and my brain has been working out a pattern, now I know the pattern, I can be on the lookout for it, or with the closer view of it, I think I see how it would be constructed... Thanks, your bags look great, your girls did a fantastic job!
