I woke up this morning and ached for a bit of sewing. Just a little. I just wanted a quick little project that would brighten my two little girls' day. Here's what I came up with:
Using the samples I have from Love Nest™ (due out Jan 2011), I made both Siri and Flissa a reversible ballet bag. It was ever so easy and would also make the perfect church handbag, travel bag, goodie bag,... (you get the idea).
You don't need much fabric (remember, all I have are tiny samples). It does help to have two fun coordinating fabrics so that you can flip the bag inside out for a little change-a-roo.
When I say "simple" I really mean it. You basically need 4 pieces of fabric (a piece for the outside, a piece for the inside, and two straps). My girls love it and I loved getting in a little project this morning.
Here are my little notes if you want to make this bag with a few extra pieces of fabric you have lying around your house:

Here's a picture of the birdie-brown bag reversed out (the blue flower calico print) and a peek into Flissa's heart-circle baggie.
I think I counted 10 straight lines to sew to make this bag. In the words of Ina, "How easy was that?"
