My dear Madelin, let me tell you, is constantly restless for something to DO. She is always looking up projects and crafts and doing them. But, there's kind of a catch. Too much mess or anything including sewing stresses me out. It's not completely undoable, but I tend to strongly encourage things that don't take too long, too many materials, or time at that beastly sewing machine.
This week she came up with not only a great project, but one that also meets her constant desire for yet another bag or purse. She does NOT get this from me!
While checking out Pinterest, she found this -
a tutorial for a no-sew bag - at little birdie secrets .
Whenever we find a project idea, we like to look at a few others for tips, adjustments, anything that makes it work a little better or the project go a little more smoothly. We found this -
a video tutorial for the same basic bag, with a little adaptation, on stumbleupon .
So, that evening, with most of the kids in bed, she came to me with a length of fabric and some scissors, and in about 3 minutes we had this!
She couldn't be more thrilled! She loves that it adjusts to a long bag to wear across her body or hold more, and a smaller bag that works as a great over-the-shoulder purse with just a difference of 2 knots. Can't be much easier that this!
