Hello friends,

Thank you for stopping by. Let’s have a girls day at the park with Five and Dime, Heidi Staples 

Debut collection for Penny Rose Fabrics.

 

As soon as I received this fresh new fabric, I knew I would make a bag.

I made a big fat tote bag without thinking hard and I love how it came out.

How about you? What project do you have in mind?

 

Claire and I packed the bag with toys and snacks,  went to the park, found a pretty spot and started to play.

 

 

 

This is my trusty bag for any occassion. I think I can use it for my quilt trip (if it happens in the future), for the beach, even for grocery shopping. (I don’t think I would bring this bag to my Trader Joe’s visit though.)

 

I took the fake leather flap from my very old bag and used. It’s already torn one side so I think it’s a successful upcycling.

 

I had to show you the pretty inside! I would like to make a skirt for my girl with the same fabric. What do you think?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I noticed last winter that Heidi has a fabric collection coming out. After long patient waiting, all my high expectations got paid off when I finally saw this collection in person.  Her fun retro prints are loved by everybody in my family including my oldest daughter who’s hard to please.

Five and Dime is available to order at Sunny Day Supply

      Hi Vicki,
      Thanks! I had to add a pocket closure because it’s huge pocket. I saved my yellow bag just in case, for another bag project. 😉

  5. It is huuuge and just perfect! Love how your bag turned out and the upcycling is spot on! You’d never get out of Trader Joe’s if you took your bag there because everybody would stop to ask where you got it!
