I had so many plans for this year. Some are still a maybe for me to plow through in the next two days but most, if not all, are going to have to wait for another year or at least after Christmas day. Today however I did manage to pull together two fun library bags for my little readers. Shhh...but these are still a secret until Sunday.
I found the tutorial here and loved the idea of this cute little pocket on the side to hold a their very own library card. This is also a surprise....and a first for both of them. I also made the bag bigger so that we wouldn't have a problem fitting the larger picture books that Sadie loves into it. All in all a fun pretty easy project. I even learned how to do french seams with this one and I have to say I love how they look.
For Christmas morning I have put a few new books and coloring items in there to hold them over until the library is open again after the holidays. I'm thrilled with how they turned out and excited to see if they like them. Maybe in a few days I'll make one for myself.
Anybody else making last minute gifts or am I the only crazy one?

Those are so cute...I want to make one for me! I am crazy too and am totally making last minute gifts...the things we do:)
I love your blog and I love how cute your kids are! I am making felt robots that I pray I get finished before the big day! I made one for Dex and then Jon decided I should make one for Teik, and then thought Sevy would feel left out, so I added hers to the list which will be cow spotted (which just means more work for me!) Love the bags! So cute! I need to do that for my kids because we LOVE the library! So fun! Love homemade Christmas'!
super cute!
