Tis the Season for Birthdays

Around here, August seems to be a hugely popular month for birthdays.  We've gone to three birthday parties in the last three weekends and there are still a couple more in the coming weeks.  So I've been pretty busy sewing up some handmade gifts.


This first gift is a retro duffel bag.  The tutorial is from Saltwater Kids and can be found here.  Inside is a fort-building kit; the instructions for the kit, also from Saltwater Kids, is here.  The duffel bag was a really quick and easy sew and the result is pretty darn cute.  My kind of sewing for sure. 



And here is another Toddler Backpack.  I'm convinced that every toddler/preschooler needs this bag.  The fabric if you're interested is Tweet Tweet by Moda.


The two bags together, and below, a view of the backback from the rear.


Off to bed now and thanks for stopping by!
