Sewing Lesson

Courtney asked if I would help her make a little bag. I found this one online that was fairly simple and really cute.

We took a trip to the fabric store and she decided on an animal print theme. The fabrics look really cute together. She saw some cute little embelishments she wanted to add to the outside.


It only took us 2 work sessions to finish it and she did all the work herself. The only thing I did was sew the stars on the side. I was very impressed with how well she did on her sewing. She picked it up very quickly. It was a great project to work on together.



The directions said to use one fabric for the outside and a second fabric for the inside. Of course Courtney likes doing things her own way. She wanted each side of the bag to be different, and the inside to have the same fabrics, only opposite. I warned her that it meant an extra step of sewing, but she was determined. It ended up even cuter.
