Well, since Alicia and Vicky both let the cats out of their bags, I can show you what I made for Club Little House. I came very close to making the same thing Vicky made, and even something similar to Alicia's little creation, but went another direction. I went to the beach!
I had this image in my head of twelve cute little beach bags all in different colors and fabrics, and managed to get them to turn out (almost) exactly how I pictured them, despite my uncooperative sewing machine. Thank heavens for fusable web!
But I couldn't stop there, I wanted there to be something in the bags, so I came up with this:
Teensy flip flops! I should have put a penny next to these so you could get an idea of the scale. Let's just say they are small enough to have been a beast to make. See, twelve pairs is 24 shoes, each of which are made from two layers of foam, so I had to cut out 48 little foot shaped thingies. And here they are, stretching off into the distance:
and with their bags:
The whole crew was wrapped, tagged and Fedexed out, so Amy should get it sometime tomorrow. I am itching to see what everyone else made!
So now it is onward to the next adventure...
Cheers,
Jenny

Oh how very clever and cute these are! Everything looks so amazing. Grace is flipping over your flip-flops! (She made some too with beaded thongs.) I love how you added the flowers and gingham (of coarse the gingham!) so love that. You did such a great job. Can't wait to see them in person.

Far out, they are truly amazing. I want to be involved in the next round. Those are just about the cutest things I have ever seen. I know I am gushing but I am going to copy those little bags for lolly bags for my daughter's birthday.

How clever! I love how the flip-flops match the handle of the bags. I'll give you a little hint, mine has some sort of shoe in them too!

OK, now between the three of you I am going to have to break down and get myself a dollhouse! I've been able to resist the temptation all my life, but the sight of those itty bitty prons of Alicia's and now your absolutely amazing bags & flip flops are enough to send me running to the store! GORGEOUS! I just love them!
