Gotta love a zippered pouch. I had great visions of something patchwork, but when it came down to it, I was running late on time and just used this cute doodle fabric that I think is really perfect for girls who aren't so little anymore (hey, they're almost tweens!).
I think it'll be a nice pouch that should last them a while at least until they move on to their next favorite thing. Perfect for a little stash of lip gloss or whatever they want to tote around.
The only difference between the two pouches is the zipper color, I didn't want to make them so different that they'd fight over one or the other, but different enough so they could tell who's whos.
So lemonade lip gloss, a pouch, and a fun little banana leaf recycled notebook we picked up at Target = fun and functional birthday present in a hurry.
the purses are really lovely, i bet the girls were pleased to receive them. i just made myself a gathered wristlet from your tutorial and i love it, thanks so much for sharing the pattern. have a wonderful weekend.

ReplyDeleteThese are really fun. I love the color difference between the interior and exterior fabrics. I always have a hard time with gift giving when it comes to older girls. This is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun! I love quick little gifts like this!
ReplyDeleteOh how cute!! My daughter has that same fabric and has made a large box type bag with it. By the way, thank you for your tutorial on your little zippered pouches. :o) My daughter has mastered them and I believe all of her friends are getting them as little gifts. :o)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful weekend.
