Ashley's Bag   by Molly
Here are a few photos of a bag
Molly (age 11) recently made for
her friend Ashley's birthday!  (Mom
did the denim sewing but Molly did
the rest!  Didn't she do a great job!!
 Ashley LOVED it!  :-)
[Below]  I tried something new with
this bag.  I added an oblong piece of
denim to make more of a "flat
bottom".  This allows the bag to hold
more and if it had reinforcement
(which I didn't do this time) it would
'stand up' more.  Of course, the lining
has the same bottom :-)
A view of the inside.  Molly chose this
fabric because Ashley loves horses :-).  
We used the end of a pant leg for the
pocket and stitched a slender pocket for
a pen.


NOTE:  If any of you use these
directions
to make a similiar bag,
I'd love to see a picture!  I'll even
include it here on the site!  These
bags are so much fun to make
and so easy to personalize!!

If you'd like to share your
creation, please
