same same - but different

A little friend of my daughter is celebrating her third birthday this weekend.
Her mother didn't want me to sew her a birthday dress, but she thought that her daughter would like to have a little purse.

As I knew that my daughter would through at least one major tantrum if she would have to give away something like this without having one of her own, I decided to just make two. I wanted to make one for my daughter for months anyway.

This is a german bag pattern, which I really love. I made an adult bag of this pattern too, it already comes in two sizes, but for the Mini-Ladies I made a 70% version of the smaller one.

It is easy to make, but this petal flap makes it look so cute:

 my daughter's


her friend's 




On the inside of the flaps, I embroidered the girl's names, and for my daughter, my cell number too.



And this is the adult version I made last year:


If you would like to check out the pattern, go ahead! There are so many pictures, I think you can even use it not understanding a single word german. And if you have any difficulties or questions, feel free to contact me with your questions :-)

pattern: Josipa

Birthday girl

Unbelievable,
but Friday my litlle daughter turns 2.

Last year she had a birthday dress made with "Children at play" by Sarah Jane.

So, this year, guess what? I choose "Out to sea" by Sarah Jane. I really love this fabric series.

The dress is done, just the buttons on the back are still missing. Tomorrow is another day :-)
