Friendship Bag
Saturday, February 6, 2010 
First off, I would like to give credit where credit is due. I found the tutorial for this very simple (and quick) sewing project on p.s. i quilt. It's a perfect way to pass a weekend afternoon.
I made this bag for my young niece for Christmas and filled it with a small notebook, pen, lipgloss, Hello Kitty coinpurse...all the essentials! I lined it with pink because it's her favorite color. For the outer layer of the bag, I decided to machine quilt a grid pattern using 4 different thread colors -- pink, blue, lime and purple. The handles are embellished with purple grosgrain ribbon.
I really love this fabric -- it's from the Cosmo Chic" collection by Material Girls Studio and, for those of you who watch Mad Men, reminds me of the Drapers' couch. I'm already thinking about how to best used the leftovers.

I LOVE it - what a great fabric. I have been looking for a new post from you for quite some time! I am sure your little niece loved it - something she will have for a long time to come!
VERY cute. I'll need to bookmark that page. I gave our nieces something similar, but I bought the bags and stuffings to go inside. I think maybe next year it would mean even more to them to make them, instead. Maybe with hubby's old army camo? Hmmm... Good and inspiring post! ;)
