My 2 cherubs are huge Saturday Disney fans (I am quite partial to Phineas and Ferb myself). Last December, Rachel thought it would be a great idea to send Shae, Sally and Jack (the hosts) a Christmas present. The conversation went like this – Rachel - “You make bags Mum, lets make them a bag together”. Me - “What about Jack?”. Rachel - “He can have a notebook”. I bought some Disney fabric from work and got creating with Rachel, I sewed and she ironed, turned out handles, made cups of tea, whinged… Anyway, this was the finished product.
We parceled them up with a Chrissy Card and express posted them, that was the end of that – until just recently. The kids got a parcel from Saturday Disney with a letter saying they had won a runner up prize, there was much rejoicing and dancing around the house. They won a Justin Bieber cd, some pens and a signed photo.
The best news was that there names will be in TV tomorrow (5th June). Why do kids find it easy to get up at the crack of dawn on the weekend when they can’t get out of bed during the week?
The Sewing Sisters are off on another sewing weekend, was it really 3 months ago that I got to join them! I have been making a few bags for gifts, orders and work samples.
A denim Babushka bag made as a work sample that now belongs to my dear friend Vikki.
DH has also been working on a banner for my Etsy shop, what do you think?

Your bags are gorgeous as usual...that deep red is to die for! Your new banner looks fab too...getting close now :)
An Etsy store? OOhh, good news indeed. I love the banner. Don't worry about the early rising on the weekends, it's only a stage. Once they're teenagers you wont be able tog get them out of bed before midday! Kim :)
