long weekend

The girls and I are heading away for a long weekend. In preparation my beautiful 6 year old informed me she needed a new sponge bag for her toothbrush, toothpaste etc,  so I let her loose in my fabric stash. I actually made one for Lucy too (in pink which used to be her favourite colour), but was promptly told - after the fact - that she no longer likes pink, just what Bella likes! So they now have the same sponge bags - hopefully one less thing to fight over!

I have to say, these were a little fiddly, as I lined them with laminated cotton, and covered them with plastic to make them waterproof. Just as I was turning the first one out I was politely reminded that they needed to have 'handles'. So there was a little unpicking involved, some bias made and voila, some handles added!

I hope you enjoy your weekend - whatever it may involve!

    Hi Jo, I just used the pvc table cloth stuff you can buy at spotlight and added it as the layer above my fabric.

    Yes, these are just great! I'd also like to know, despite them being fiddly, if you're planning to make any for your shop? : )

    Thanks for your lovely comments. I will 'eventually' make some for my shop, but if you don't want to wait, I am happy to take custom orders! :-)
