23rdspiral your kitty is so cute! I the fabric from Laura Ashely not somewhere I think I'll be going often...They did have a sale there so it was 50% off so it didn't work out that expensive, hoping to make a bag in the same fabric.

sm1971 so cute! Can't believe it only took a few minutes, well done!

Hi All,

dizzytina, love the bag and to say you didn't follow a pattern you should be really proud of yourself. Well done.

Check these out ladies... http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_query=i+spy+pillow&search_type=handmade&page=1 I spy pillows. They look so easy to make, I am going to have a go at making 1 for my grandson. They would be great to keep in your bag for when the little one gets bored. For more ideas do a google search for I spy pillows..

They are lovely. I found a tutorial here with some good tips in the comments too. I might make an alphabet one. I will have to price up the buttons as I wouldn't want to spend a fortune making it.

Why not check round the house for some of the objects as they can be anything like beads small plastic toys, lego men etc
