Two Days "Off"

I didn't have preschool on Monday and Tuesday of this week. So, I decided it would be fun to do something just because I wanted to! I have had a bug to do some sewing for a while so I found some screaming deals on fabric and spent my "days off" sewing.

Of course, I couldn't possibly do a little bit of sewing for fun! I somehow decided to sew a million things in just two days! One day I really am going to fix that character flaw! :)

Anyway, my first project was this Sunday bag and crayon roll for Cameron. My diaper bag is always so full of things to keep him occupied in Sacrament meeting - and then I carry it all with me through the rest of the meetings wishing I could just go dump it all in the car. So, that is the plan with this new bag. The material is a little funky for church, but Adam wouldn't stand for anything girly! :)

I thought this crayon roll was such a cute way to keep your crayons together and not in a million pieces! It was a pretty quick and easy project!

 

Then, I found the cutest fabric for so cheap - I just had to do one for Brooklyn too! I revamped the bag for more of a diaper bag for her, and also made her a crayon roll. It is still empty - since she doesn't actually color yet, but one day! :)

I did a ton of pockets in this one - perfect sizes for all my junk! :)

I also sewed a few easy costumes for the kids...no pictures of those yet, I don't want to ruin the Halloween surprise! :)

I found the ideas/instructions for the bag and crayon roll here. I changed some things, so if you want to give either of the projects a try, talk to me first and I'll let you in on what I learned!
