Little girl's messenger bag

While this bag was made for my daughter, I also made on nearly the same to be sold.  Cute and fun messenger bag.

Union Jack bag

Back of bag and side (with red spotted pocket)

Front of bag and other side (pocket in denim with red edging)

 

This was a commissioned bag, and I forgot to take a picture of the finished product before selling it, but it is one of my favorites to date. 

 

This is a bag I made for myself, but it is very similar to the one pictured above.

 

DR. WHO?

The costume without a boy

This year, this boy was kind to me and decided about a month ago that he'd like to be Dr. Who for Halloween.  I love it when my kids do that.  No one else could decide until nearly the day before, so this boy got all the home-made goodness.  I did try to find a tweed jacket in his size (8) but I had no luck.  Then I'd thought I could re-fashion an adult sized tweed jacket, but no luck there either.  I didn't want to pay £10 a meter for real tweed, so I was just going to use a brown with black stripes fabric from my stash.  But as luck (fate) would have it, after cleaning and reorganizing our attic, my husband found an old bed skirt, that had been stashed away, and looked almost like tweed. Yippee! Done! I was so excited, I cut it all out that same day, and sewing took about a week.   I lined the jacket with light brown cotton.  The backside of the collar and tops of the pockets are brown gingham. The bow-tie is refashioned from one of his dad's old ties. I love it.  Even better, HE loves it!  (And he can wear it to church, too!)
