I always feel that Friday mornings are perfect for sewing little things.  The little one has stated to read and is obsessed with her books.  I had made her a little camera bag and she was using it for her books, the problem was that it was too small for her books.  She has been nagging for a little book bag all week.  I told her to pick a style and showed her some on pinterest and she chose Zaaberry’s Kid’s Messenger Bag.

I had been saving the strawberry fabric and it was the perfect thing for this little bag and I also had some red leather stashed.  I was intimidated by the leather and kept putting off sewing with it until now.  It was the perfect shade for the strawberry fabric.

So, I went for it.

She’s thrilled with it.

She has already filled it with books and is wearing it around the house.

That is the beauty of little 5 (almost 6) year olds.  They can be easily pleased.

Now that I have sewed leather I want to make something for me using it.  It is beautiful.  It is soft and easy to sew.

What have you finished this week?
