I’ve been working on some small sewing projects. Kid 2 had a pair of fish-print pants that had been not only outgrown but also thoroughly played in, to the point that there was no longer a knee on one side. The fabric was so cute, though! So now we have two bags:
The rectangular hip pack is mine, and the square-ish purse is for Kid 2. I used to sew purses and bags all the time. But it’s been a minute, and I got a little ambitious with the hip pack. I should have done a flat zipper pocket on the front instead of one with a small side panel. It’s all a bit wonky. Not my strongest sewing! The other purse turned out exactly as I imagined, but it’s basically just a zippered pouch on a string, and I can sew a zippered pouch in my sleep.
Aren’t the little zipper pulls cute, though? They’re the ends of the pants drawstring! I’ve also been making some simple drawstring bags/pouches out of old t-shirts that don’t fit the kids anymore. I’ll post photos when I’ve finished a few. I’m in my upcycling era?
