Satin, Chiffon, and Bows: a very girly GIVEAWAY from ME to YOU! (CLOSED)

8/26/10



When was the last time I sewed something for YOU guys? Maybe Celebrate the Boy? Yikes. That was way too long ago. So, let's do a very girly back-to-school-ish giveaway!

It involves bows, chiffon, and plenty of satin. (Sorry boys)
For most of us, going back to school also means starting up the extra curricular activities again. And for the very first time this year miss Lucy is starting a dance class. She's more than excited.
We hit the store, tried on shoes, and then Lucy gasped, "Mom, look at these pretty ballet bags!" (sitting next to the dance shoes; all quilted, embroidered, and overdone). I gasped in my mind, "eek. Those are gooey". But having a bag for your ballet and tap shoes was a brilliant idea, so I decided to make my own version.
Perhaps you think mine are overdone too. But I figured they were nice middle-ground; pleasing both girls and moms.
I used the basic Hobo Sack TUTORIAL and added a few girly twists.
I shortened the bags, added a thin layer of chiffon over cotton,
placed a big satin bow on top,
and added silky satin strings. A very girly bag, to hold very girly things.
They're the perfect size for a pair of tap and ballet shoes.
But they can certainly hold hairclips, toys, nylons, tights, socks, trims, whatever you need!
Would you like one?
Excellent! I'm giving them away!
Here are the flavors....

Classic Pink:

Raspberry:

The Elle Woods:

Ballet Blues:

Grace Kelly:

My favorite is definitely the 1940s glammy-look above.
But Lucy's favorite is Raspberry, so that one will stay at our house.
