We have a lovely habit in our family of making gifts for each other at Christmas. With the move to high school, I'd been wanting to make a messenger bag for Juliet. I handlettered some of her favorite quotes, added doodles, and had the fabric printed at Spoonflower. I was a little nervous about sewing it up (it was pretty much a one-shot deal), but it flew together in one afternoon (and, yes, that one afternoon was December 23rd).
I tucked some fabric markers in one of the inside pockets, and she got right to it on the heart.
On my list for February: figure out how to get these kits in the shop!
Meanwhile, giveaway entries will close tonight. I am loving your comments!
I LOVE this! What an amazing gift and I would never have thought of including fabric markers. I have a niece that would love one of these.

I just love that you can have your designs printed on fabric! What a huge bonus marrying two things you are passionate about.
