She drew up a design for a light over the shoulder bag to hold dog poo bags and training treats. When training a dog the reward has to be immediate and this leaves her hands free for other tasks like trying to get the lead back on or picking up the stick to throw again.
I love that she can just use the machine on her own and knows some techniques without my prompt. I came back into the room and started to speak and she interrupted and said, "Yeeesss, I have snipped off the corners already!"
She made it brown so that Bloke could use it too. She had been saving the dog fabric which had come in a rag bag to us in February. The beads were in a giveaway parcel from CJ made so they have gone to good use already. I am not sure if Bloke has used it yet but it was a nice thought.
One very functional project. Thanks for stopping by.

PS. It always amazes me what you folks comment on, thank you for your lovely comments about the granny shawl. I posted it and thought it was a bit of a lame post and then you all loved it! It just shows we all blog for different reasons and we all have different likes and dislikes. Thanks again.
How thoughtful of her! Her bag is amazing! I remember sewing in my mums machine and snapping at her because I knew how to do things! The weird thing is now she asks me!

Perfect use for the 'doggy fabric', and an imaginative designer. Well done Big Sis.
ReplyDeleteOf course we always love all of your makes and your lovely girls makes too! The shawl and this great bag are no exception to that. I love that your daughter thought of her Dad when making this bag Dad friendly!!
ReplyDeleteis that a designer in the making that we see? a neat little idea and very pretty.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly is a budding designer and so thoughtful thinking of her Dad. A brilliant make, inspirational just like her Mama.
ReplyDeleteWhat a practical little project. I'm glad the beads came in useful they certainly add a lovely bit of decoration to the design. Love the puppy print pocket too!
ReplyDeleteShe is amazing with her doggie bag project. So practical and cute too!
ReplyDeleteBig sis is your daughter, through and through! What a great idea, I want one of those. It is such a fun bag! have a similar handbag that I sometimes use for dog paraphernalia but it is a pain to switch between completely different purposes and embarrassing when I pull out a poo bag when I am looking for my vaseline... Happy days! x
ReplyDeleteBag worked a treat. So much concentration whilst sewing clever girl.
ReplyDeleteSuper little project! It is wonderful that she just gets on with it on her own, really useful too. x
ReplyDeleteClever big sis. So practical too. I'm glad she added the beads it lifts the bag and makes it special.
