Vacation Bible School just came to a close. The theme was Stand Strong: with God's Love, Prayer, Friends and Family, Trusting God and the Bible. The K students I had (13) really got the message, you should hear them shout "STAND STRONG!!" I also had an assistant who was a great help.
(Hi Brianna!) So as a thank you gift, I made her this.
(I love excuses to make something! )
Isn't it so pretty? AND IT'S INSIDE OUT!! LOL. I covered the inner seams with binding.
I whipped it up for her one afternoon. It was perfect for the left over squares I had from this project.
I found these blue magnetic clasps (2 for 50 cents) on clearance at Joann's , how perfect!
I used the leftover 2 1/2 inch squares and left over jelly roll strips for the top band, binding, and straps; much of which is from Stars and Stripes collection (shown below)
from Riley Blake. I used the leftover backing from the same project I mentioned, for the lining.
(Not from Riley Blake)
It's a cross body style bag about 8" x 10" with an extra long strap.
Although I knew I would start with squares, I made the rest up as I went along! Here is the pattern. (It's my first PDF file, I hope it works!)
As far as I'm concerned, I think the bag queen is from the blog Amy Made That! but a girl has to have something to strive for, right?
I think I want one!
Love how this bag looks inside and out! A perfect gift :)
