A Birthday Bag

Today the boys and I had the joy and privilege of celebrating a birthday at the beach.  The special young lady is one of the boy's playmates from the neighborhood.  I designed and made this bag just for her and it's reversible.   Oh, I love the chance to sew for girls!

Oh to have a girl to sew for (speaking as a Mum of two boys lol ) It's a very pretty bag I'd of loved that as a girl. The colours are so fun !

Oh, me too, me too! I love a chance to indulge my girly side. So glad my friends have daughters.... (and that I don't, I would be such a frustrated seamstress with all the cute things for girls but not enough time to make them....) Very cute!

Oh, this is just so pretty, and I'm sure she was thrilled to get it! The fabrics you've chosen are totally adorable. So beach-y!

Oh it's really cute! How many pieces is it made up from, not including the lining, of course?
