Birthdays Galore

Liam and Jonas seem to be invited to tons of parties. The whole process of finding birthday presents is exhausting for me. I walk back and forth between 3 or 4 stores checking what toys each store has and what prices. In my condition that's a lot of work! I have been wishing there was a way for me to make something cute but when they are little boys who only like Star Wars there isn't much I can do except buy them a toy. So when Jonas was invited to the party of a little girl from playgroup I was so excited because it meant I could easily make her something rather than buy her some silly toy (what kinds of toys do 2 year old girls like anyways?) I found this tutorial for a messenger bag with measurements to make it for a child. It is probably a little bigger than I would like for it to be but this way she can grow into it. I keep seeing tons of tutorials for fabric flowers as well so I made one of those with the extra fabric.

Picking out fabric is so much more fun than picking out toys!
