I want to show you this bag I made for my friend, Zulma. It was her birthday. I thought the girls needed something to keep their pencils and hair barrettes in, so I've started to make a purse for each girl when her birthday comes.

I found the fabric at a local store, cut it out, sewed it, and designed the button patterns. After sewing those on, I decided to add ribbon so the top didn't look so frazzled. Next came the ribbon handle, and ta da! All done, and I did it all myself with a little help from Mommy. I still need help sometimes tying knots in the thread. Do you like it?

  7. What a great idea, Caroline! Cassie and Lillie are doing a lot of sewing projects this year too. Did you sew it by hand?
