DD has a party today and it's a new classmate so I had no clue what she liked. When I e-mailed my rsvp I asked her interests and was told: Superheroes, Pirates and Scooby Do! What about princesses
She also likes arts and crafts and reading. I was going to make her an eye spy and get her some books, but for some reason I was so not in the mood to do an eye spy bag. So I came up with this:
Reversible tote bag and art supplies:
Here is the bag reversed -- I got her a sketch pad, paint book, journal and pencil roll:
Here is the pencil roll (npt thrilled with the red binding but didn't feel like making my own and had this on hand -- red is in the fabric too):
And open and filled with twistable colored pencils as I didn't want to have to worry about her having to have a sharpener (I also put a few paint brushes in for her paint book):
I just did on line tuts for both projects, though I did add deco bond to one of the bag fabrics to make it a bit more durable that the tut didn't call for. I never made a crayon or pencil roll up before, but I was pretty happy with it.
And if anyone was reading along closely, I wanted to use some sparkly pirate fabric I had, but I didn't have enough. I had this on hand though so didn't have to run to the store. Would have liked to embroider something, but time was not on my side.
