More Fabric Painting

A few weeks ago, I let Kumi paint on fabric and then made little pouches out of her artwork. Then last week we had a playdate and I busted out the fabric paint and canvas material and the kids loved the messy-let-loose-and-jab-all-over-the-material fun. After seeing their handiwork, I just had to make tote bags. They were so easy, I whipped them up this morning while Kumi rolled bobbins around the apartment, and they were all done in time for our afternoon playdate.

I made one tote for each little friend, carefully making sure I included the correct child's fabric art. I still have to make Kumi's but my, aren't they cute? Here's the other side:

Here's a more stylized shot:

What I love are the little rounded corners on the bottom and I even lined them and added a little pocket:

This one is lined with a tool-patterned cotton print and the other tote has a solid lilac cotton lining with a blueberry print pocket. Kumi's best girlfriend loves purple. She LOVED the tote and carried it around with her all day today.

Now for Kumi's... She doesn't have a favorite color, really, but there is this darling fabric that I just got that would be perfect. Fun.
