A Mini and a Maxi Satchel

The Dragster is one of my favourite illustrations. I really like that it suits a entire range of ages.

I had one lonely Dragster Panel left in the stash, so I whipped up a new satchel for a friends son. He's growing up so quickly that he has now grown out of the mini satchel that I made a few years ago.

His little sister also needed a new satchel. The request was for pink, pink.... and more pink.

I think I can manage pink?

The End of May (nearly)

It was a very foggy drive home from the 21st in Ballarat lastnight, but the good news is that the birthday girl loved her pressies. The clutch and wrist strap will be perfect for when she's off for a night out on the town.... sheesh I can't remember the last time I had one of those!

So today I'm off to the last birthday party of the crazy month of May........ why is it that so many people have a May birthday??? Is there some sort of special event in August, or is it just because it's so bloody cold???

I can't show you todays birthday pressie, because it was made while I was doing some super secret pattern testing, but I can tell you that it's completely gorgeous.

During the week, I also whipped up some bibs during for a couple of girlfriends whose baby girls who need to move up a size from the newborn to the toddler bib. I'm so in love with that cherry print. I wish I had bought some more while the $AUD was high!

Poor little Moo Moo (cough cough), has spent the entire weekend eating birthday cake. His little friend Daniella had a birthday party yesterday afternoon, so I made her a MiniMiss Satchel with an adjustable shoulder strap, using some pink corduroy and a sweet little french print that I bought from the Retromummy Shop. There was more cake at the 21st lastnight, and now he's coming along with me to the birthday party today.... it's such a hard life when you're 3.

Have a happy Sunday!

Stocking up

I have a couple of markets coming up, so I'm trying to use any spare time whipping up goodies for my stall.

My nephews love their manbag satchels, so I've made some similar small kiddie satchels. I'm going to call them my MiniMan and MiniMiss Satchels.

They all have fully adjustable straps, so that they can grow with the kiddies, and a simple magnetic snap closure.

I just need to whip up a few more in some brighter colours.
