Fourth of July

Well, I'm late SNSing, and I was late sewing as well. I was making these at 8am on 7/4, and I swear they took way too long, almost till 11am. But they fit well, although the undies legs are a bit too long for my taste, I'm not sure how that happened.

Striped C/L from Suz, solid interlocks from JA I guess. Curved raglans and BBs. Stupidly, I only ordered a yard of the stripes, so the backs of the shirts are the same solids as their sleeves. Lucas actually had the nerve to ask for yellow sleeves. I don't know what is up with that kid.

Tinkerbell meets the ShaSha Dream bag

I made this for my cousin's bday, she turned 12 and is apparently a Tink fanatic, so what's a good sewing mama-cousin to do but sew her a bag? Her dad's bday is 2 weeks after hers, and they always take a trip to a destination of his choosing, and it's Vegas this year (I think they're there right now), so I thought the bag should be a bit bigger than the tut calls for. Here's a link to the tutorial that I used.

I had to do a LOT of fussy cutting to get things to even out on this bag, and get as many Tinks as I could. She's got other fairies along with her, so I made each inside pocket from one of them.

One inside pocket w/ribbon key clip, the other side has the same pocket with a different fairy on it

There's also a removable base in the bag, which is just fabric sewn around some thick cardboard. It really needed the support to keep the shape of it when you throw a wallet inside. The closure is velcro, as I somehow lost my stash of mag snaps.
