Emme's Bag and Dress

Recently, an adoptive mom asked me to make her a messenger bag to carry when she brings home her daughter from China in a few months. She had more of that glorious Michael Miller fabric with the Chinese Kids and was willing to let me work with it. I swear I'm still not tired of that material even after working several projects.

Here is her new bag.
I've made this bag a few times so there wasn't too much mystery on what it would look like when done.


The tee shirt dress on the other hand required a little winging it. Right up my alley. I must admit I love not completely knowing how a project will turn out. Creating the sash bow took a little time to figure out how long and how wide...but going into Olivia's closet to find something with a sash to use as a reference point just was not feasible since she was napping. Planning ahead might not always be a strong point for me.

Here it is. Tee shirt dress for little almost 2 year old who will come home this winter.
