Tags N Bags

I recently fell in love with the http://www.taggies.com blankets/loveys that I saw at a local baby store. I thought they were overpriced, but had to have some, so I made my own. Each one is made of two layers of polar fleece, with silky/satiny ribbons sticking out on all side like tags. They're about 14 inches square; the green is Dillon's and the blue is Lucas's.




I end up with loads of larger sized scraps when I'm sewing, so Dillon and I came up with a creative way to use them, rather than hoarding them away in a box: I've been making beanbags! I finally finished up the ones I cut before Christmas, too!

Trick or Treat!

Trick or Treat Bags




Made from corduroy and woven Halloween fabrics. Left one is Dillon's, center is Lucas's, right was sent to a friend's DD for her bday, along with some coordinating beanbags. They're approximately 10 inches tall, by 7 inches wide. The inside and outside pockets are the same, and were sized to hold a flashlight. Dillon and Lucas picked out their own fabrics for these bags.
