This is going along with the apron and felt food products, I made earlier. The ant design is from Sew Forum. I must warn you, I have never seen so many jump stitches nor color changes! I do like the designs and there are 3 more to the set, called Picnic Ants, by shar824... I am amazed at how much I accomplished today. I made my morning route, came home and finished Avery's poncho, cooked a little lunch for my 10 yr old grandson that was here, cut out the quilted part of this bag and embroidered, made my evening route, cut my husbands hair, cut out the rest of this little tote and sewed it up and its not even 6:00 pm.-lol-I couldn't wait until it dried to show you, from washing the WSS out, so overlook the wet spots. I put her a snap because her little hands could probably handle this better than a zip.Just as a precaution, I made her strap handle short, so she can't put it around her neck...I am thinking of adding her a potholder or mug rug. I am having so much fun, can you tell? Merry Christmas Cuties- Toogie EDITED 9pm- You guessed it, we just came back from eating out-lol-I came back and reworked her boxed bottom. I made her corners deeper, so she would have a wider bottom, and the bag wouldn't look so square. It now looks tapered so I think it looks better. I put all her felt cookies in the bottom and her bacon and eggs on top,and she still has room. It is a very little bag for little hands, just something I made up, but I just measured the finished size. It sits on a 3 inch bottom and it measures 5in wide at bottom and 8in at top, even tho it was cut square. It stands about 71/2 or 8 in tall. Compare the photos #1 & #4 and see, because I made her bottom corners 3" it looks better tapered, don't you think?
You have done well with your time. I agree some designs get a bit frustrating with jump stitches especially small lines of them. But as they are given free by people who can do what I can't I am happy to sit and pick them out.
