Group Gifts: Seven Tote Bags

A friend asked me to make 7 tote bags for her to give to her daughter and her daughter's best friends as a high school graduation gift.  And since I love a good production line, I couldn't resist!

This is a simple reversible bag; back when I was in college a friend of mine gave me one like this, and I used it until it wore out.  It is SO easy to make!  Here is a pattern for one version of it.  

And Another Stuffed Owl

My friend who needed a shower gift also needed a gift to take to a one-year-old-girl's birthday party, themed "Look Whoooo's Turning One!"  And with a stack of leftover Joel Dewberry, Modern Meadow lying right there on the ironing board, I just had some fun all over again!  It's a fun little challenge to find eyes and beak out of the fabric prints, and I think this little guy turned out to be just plain adorable.  So do my kids.  They've put in their orders.  As well as the husband of the friend who needed the gift.  Might be ordering some Parson Gray rather soon!
