I recently made a little appliqued bag for one of my cousins little girls, but wanted to make a second for her older sister. The bag was based on an original that I had seen at Flutterby patch.

If you are interested in how I made this bag you can read a more detailed account here . I decided to make the second bag slightly bigger – so added 1″ to the bottom section of the bag and 1″ to the width of all the fabric pieces. I also included a little ribbon tie at the top of the bag and extended the bobble trim around the back.
I added another appliqued figure in the window at the back of the bag.
Here are both the bags as comparison…
I was really quite pleased with the results, and hopefully the girls will be too!
Happy stitching one and all….
These are so sweet and beautifully made Deborah! Lucky girls!!
Thank you Jen, just a bit of fun really and lots of improvements that I could have made!
brilliant! I love how you’ve used a dotty fabric for the older girl’s hair, then embroidered hair strands over.
Thank you Claire – it is a great way of using up scraps!
Absolutely charming. I’m sure the girls will love them!
Thank you – I do hope so!
Very cute indeed!
Thank you Kathy.
