my friend rita, who i spoke of here, is having her first baby. i wanted to make her something special and finally decided on a baby bag. i had several different brown calico fabrics that went well together and below is the design i came up with.
a birdie mama and a wee birdie babe. this was my first attempt at applique and it actually went really well. i'm not a huge fan of sewing but overall this project was pretty quick and easy. i don't think i even cussed at it once!

ReplyDeleteCute! What a sweet gift. You did a great job. Oh babies everywhere. A friend of mine is due in just a few short weeks. And, I still think your bangs look great on you.
ReplyDeleteOH WOW, I had no idea she was pregnant! How exciting. She looks beautiful and that bag is So Great. You always give the most thoughtfully crafted gifts. I've loved every single thing you ever gave me, especially because I know how much effort goes into it.
ReplyDeleteWay cute! You made applique look like fun (and sewing too) even though you know how I feel about sewing ;0
