tiny happy

Keira and I spent a sunny Saturday morning making this gift for her friend who was turning 10. K chose the fabric (a mint-green upholstery print that had been on the shelf for a while, and some grey cotton corduroy) and did all the cutting and ironing. We made a satchel-style bag and matching coin purse.

The pattern is the 'messenger bag and pencil case' from my book - though we changed the dimensions a bit to suit the intended recipient. Keira thought it was funny that I was relying on the book a lot for instructions and measurements. 'Surely you know this stuff, Mama?'
