grab bag

This week end, we were invited to a birthday party,

and for once it was not a kid party,

well the B-day girl is in her mid twenties,

so still almost a kid for me!

But it is so much fun to hang out and party with young professionals,

I could almost forget their youth!

Until the next morning, when they are all fresh

and I feel so tired!

Well I could not go to the party without bringing a little present!

(I did make the birthday cake,

but she had to share!)

So I made a cute little bag,

perfect to carry lunch,

or a few items.

The pattern is from All People Quilt,

it is the grab bag.

I used some simple osnaburg cotton for the top,

with an applique of my favorite: Liberty of London!

I lined it with a cute cotton print,

and make a pocket out of gingham, for some fun.

I also added a pseudo label to the bag,

I have been playing with some stamp, trying to find a good way

to make a fun label.

I think it turned out well,

and I am still working with my stash!

Happy sewing!
