Getting Creative for a Baby Gift

here is the Gift Bag I sewed on Saturday

from fabric I found in a box in my hobby closet, the liner, and a little re-cycled pocket inside, all came from the same box, as if waiting for the best weekend to be used

the handles were a bought-on-Clearance fancy crochet cotton worked on the knitting nobby spool, then sewed in between the outer and inner fabrics
I’m such a packrat, but times like this, it pays off nicely

talk about being easy on the wallet, something old made new

but oh the ooo-ing and aaww-ing from the guest and parents at the party

I’m thinking the big sisters might like it even better than the baby.  He’s already starting out as “all Boy”
