With lots of wonderful new fabrics arriving for the shop recently I have sewing constantly on my mind. What to make, what to make? The little one needed a bag to take to preschool for her toothbrush and cup so I whipped up this small drawstring bag for her.
The fabric is Candy Party tsuzuki by Kokka. Isn’t it amazing! It is a panel full of leopard print, metallic, chevron, geo, bright colours and has so much potential. I gave some to my friend, Sake Puppets and she turned it into a tiny punky needle book. Adorable!
See the lining fabric peeking out here? That is Ruby Star Sparkle telephones by Melody Miller for Kokka and is another fabulous collection I am nuts about.
Perhaps the best thing about this bag is that it has enough pink to satisfy my 3 year old. When I gave it to her this morning she looked at it, gasped, and said “Mummy, I love it!”. Heart + melt.

So sweet!
I love this bag. I keep thinking of all the things I want to make with the rest of the fabric I have, but am paralyzed by indecision. (O_O) I love the purple stripe/mint leopard colorway … maybe I’ll just get myself some more. (^O^)／
Angela, thank you! Paralyzed by indecision. That just about sums up my whole existence. ho ho!
What a fun fabric design! My daughter would adore it – she has a thing for pattern-mixing. And oh, how I love it when the little ones are happy with the things we make.
Sanae, thank you for commenting. I think your daughter is the best-dressed little girl around! Isn’t it wonderful when they love the things we make for them.
