A New Bag and Help with Cleaning

I have to tell you, cleaning up my messes used to be a lot easier. Now I have this little helper who feels it is her job to closely supervise the process. As you can see, she is moving quickly to be sure all is done correctly.
I'm not sure how I managed before I had her very able help, but somehow - it used to be a lot quicker.



I made this little bag with Nanette's pattern as a jumping off point. I made the fabric strips shorter, narrower and more numerous, and the handle a bit wider. It is of course a smaller bag, and I think it turned out rather well.





It looks so bright and cheerful modeled by the hibiscus, don't you think?




As you can see, it has passed the Chloe test. She has given it her seal of approval. After all her hard work with fabric selection, cutting and every phase of construction, the finished product has her approval.




Whew! All this supervisory work has just worn her out. Time for a nap.





Hope your day is going well (with or without help from your pets)!


Hugs and kisses,

Very Cute! Does Chloe think it's for her yet? Has she tried to climb inside?

Bravo. I love it. You did such a super job. I'm very proud and flattered. I love it. Isn't it fun to take something and make it your own! I love that.

Very nice. I love the way it looks with the Hibiscus. I know what you mean about the help. I get help pulling the pins out of my projects.
