Why do the weekends go by so quickly? Because time sure does fly when you're having fun that's why, lol. This was the last free weekend for everyone here in Houston. School starts Monday....so does the crazy traffic, the getting caught behind school buses, and the waking up super early to avoid all of this. I myself will start my evening classes on Tuesday...yay!! So, for everyone that starts school tomorrow good luck and have a fantastic semester.
Now for this weeks project. My next project will probably be in two weeks, just till I get situated with my class schedule.
I'm showing off a new tote that I made for my niece Aubrey. It was for her second birthday. I really enjoy sewing and making thing for my loved ones and for myself.
Red on the inside.
For this tote bag I sewed a double pocket on the outside for some extra storage.
If you make it, then tag it. My tag "Fifi Made This"
Okay are you ready to be attacked with cuteness.....really how can you not love this. I made this as the special little add-on for the tote.
After about 7 different variations, I really liked the way I drew this little elephant. I then traced on felt and sewed on the extra little pieces. Then I drew the letter "A" for her name and made it too. Cute huh! Her birthday theme was "Circus".
This has to be my favorite tote that I have made so far.
Until next time! Thanks for stopping by.

That is just so adorable! And that elephant! Cuteness.
ReplyDeleteI love your tags too. Can you share how you make them (or, are they ordered)? I tried to hand embroider some, but that's not very practical. I know I can always order them, but the DIY-er in me refuses to back down without a fight. :/ :)
