This April has been a very special month. Not only did my bug turn two, but she has two lovely little cousins who celebrated their very first birthdays as well! Both of these beautiful girls have very health and environmentally conscious mamas so I decided a homemade gift that promotes good nutrition and conservation would be appreciated.
I found the pattern for these gifts during a 0.99 cent Simplicity pattern sale at Joann's Fabrics. I purchased 1 yard pieces of felt in each of the colors I needed, coordinating thread, green embroidery floss, and pillow stuffing to make them.
This was a super fun project that I worked on over the course of a month. I have a tenancy to get super sleepy at night, but used sewing these to keep myself awake while my husband and I watched the first three seasons of Dexter (the most amazing TV show ever!). I made three sets of everything and each tote bag was slightly different for each girl.
Here are some pictures of the set I sent to bug's cousin in Texas...
Pink and ivory "reusable shopping bag" with all the fruits and veggies...
Tomato, carrot, eggplant, and yellow squash
Banana, strawberries, orange, apple, and pumpkin
(for some reason the pumpkin ended up with the fruits instead of the veggies)
