Anyway, I had to think for some time of a gift I could make for the last minute party invite we received (well, I did hear about the party happening at MG last week, but without a paper invitation I had no chance of remembering all that time). It was a good thing I found an old list of suitable presents to make - I think I should update it and at least put it on the computer so I know where to look for it next time.
I decided a pencil roll would be appreciated by the birthday girl (the bonus being I did not need to guess any measurements like I did the hats the other week).

It occurred to me this morning that I needed to start making a big sister tee for Jalisa and, needing an applique idea for a shirred top, thought I could just do it on the shirred top instead (and get another project finished - yay!). Here is the work in progress.
Oh yes, Jalisa definitely needs a big sister shirt. Everyone comments on Ellyse's when we are out. I love the pencil roll too, such an easy and useful gift. The drawing case I made was a real hit, gets taken everywhere apperantly.
ReplyDeleteLovely tee for Jalisa. The pencil roll is great too. I love them and they make great gifts
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shirt idea, Jalisa will look gorgeous in it!
ReplyDeleteI love both of these. The fabric on the pencil roll is so very cute, and the applique on the top is, well, tops!
