Belle chewed up her favorite ballet tshirt. So we decided to upcycle it into a new bag for ballet. Her old one is getting a little "babyish" anyway. Phoebe loves to sew, she helped make her current school bag, also. This wasn't even a stretch for her, for mommy a little, but for her--no.
She stays super focused and sews a straighter seam than her mama. If we would use a pattern, she could probably cut it better than me. But we were winging it as usual.
And this is her result! We ironed on interfacing and lined the back of the tshirt with green and white polka dot so it is one huge pocket. The inside of the bag is lined with the same and has a little pocket for hair bands. We used extra strips of tshirt to braid and make flowers--hides the spot we had to fudge in a little grey to straighten it out. Overall very cute and functional! Very proud of her.
