Sometimes you just need a quickie!

Christmas shopping is done, presents wrapped, menu planned.

Conversation with a four year old

Little Miss:  Mummy what are those? (pointing at pile of half done clutches)



Me:  They are purses like the one with apples that mummy keeps the food money in.

Little Miss: Why aren't they finished?

Me:  I haven't ordered the little metal bits..........

Little Miss:  Oh (wanders off)

10 minutes later



Little Miss:  Mummy, are these the little metal bits? (handing me 2 Magnetic fasteners)

Me:  Yes, where were they?

Little Miss:  In my bedroom.

Me:  Ummmmm, why?

Little Miss:  In case I wanted to sew something.



Curvy Clutch (pattern by Keyka Lou)

Can't argue with that logic!

She'll be apples!

This was amazingly simple to make even with the little miss helping. I used a pattern by Keyka Lou, and it was completed in a few hours. I will be making a few more of these when I get around to buying some more magnetic snaps.
