There was no pattern on the site so I printed the picture and went to work.</span></div><div><span style=" ;font-size:100%;"><br /></span></div><div>I have never made a bag before and I am not really a great seamstress, but I think it turned out pretty cute. I love the wings on this and they were super easy to make. One of the best things about this is that I used fabric and supplies that I already had. I went through a stage when I bought fabric with no idea what I was going to do with it. I just bought it because it was cute and (maybe) on sale! I really hope that Suzanne likes the bag and that she can use it for something. I filled it up with all things OWL. A notebook and some stickers. I also put in a few items that she can make some jewelry with. (I neglected to get a picture of all the other cool stuff. OOPS!) I really hope she likes the bag.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4x8bxGOtAU9Pt4glrxc0S157ntd5QEKa-wrhdExFllkhM9p1zSBoQPx0xXn7dlyQDf03pRr8oKKYj3WhijSxkGDzu5stnF3OtOo0y888L6JwC9qPq8PlSAAAwgf0rbF1WMK2Su7D6C4wY/s1600/2012-06-27+00.34.19.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4x8bxGOtAU9Pt4glrxc0S157ntd5QEKa-wrhdExFllkhM9p1zSBoQPx0xXn7dlyQDf03pRr8oKKYj3WhijSxkGDzu5stnF3OtOo0y888L6JwC9qPq8PlSAAAwgf0rbF1WMK2Su7D6C4wY/s320/2012-06-27+00.34.19.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5759203909003461938" /></a><br /></div>Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05393484857452814427noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325188838935383748.post-50582809391291916992012-06-25T19:27:00.009-07:002012-07-03T14:47:00.467-07:00ABC's of Summer-letter D!<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center; ">Gracie, Samuel and I started today off by going to the <b>Doctor</b>.
