Feeling the need to create...
Feeling the need to use materials I already had....
Feeling the need to try something new.....
I used this tutorial and made my soon to be four year old niece a birthday present...
I took one of Meg's too small t-shirts that I had in my filing
I cut a rectangle from both layers leaving the neckline in place.....
then stitched the side and bottom seams...
Using a piece from the cut off bottom I cut the shape below....
...to make a gathered flower....
Found the perfect button to attach my flower.....
Used some pink biased tape and mixed it with a grey tie from an old skirt and braided them together for the handle...
and ....... one very cute bag that I am hoping when it is filled with some special gifts will be perfect for taking to ballet class....
