This was my first attempt at a bag, and luckily I got some great instructions from Cass and a few words of advice from our resident sewing 'expert' (my husband).
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out - though I've learned that when attempting something for the first time perhaps you should not try to do one with a stitched on name, two colour outer and ribbon embellishment!
The rest of her pressie is a very cute seed bag with a pansy seed pack in it from Mike's that I couldn't resist last week, a long sleeved top ready for winter which has some little Japanese girls appliqued on the front and a mushroom pencil roll.
I got the Japanese girls fabric as part of a 16th pack from Edna and Alice May that I also picked up at Mikes.
So I'm hoping this bag of goodies will make for a happy little birthday girl.

Karen it all looks great. I am itching for a trip to Melb to go to Mike's.
Love everything you made. I am sure that Lucia will love her pressie.
Ohhh what lovely things! Everything looks so pretty. Well done!
Oh yes, she's going to feel very spoiled! Great work on all of them!
Such prettiness here. What little girl wouldn't love such a gift?
Karen - what a fabulous bag of gifts - lucky little girl! And I have to admit I snuck into Mikes on Wednesday when my conference finished before heading out to the airport...And since I was down at Dromana on the weekend we had the weekend papers and I am hopeless about which magazine I read it in but I did see one of your articles - so exciting to "know" the people who do things, like seeing Ingrid's Anna Smocks at Mikes.
Lucia is a very lucky girl, I'll bet she just loved her gift!
