Window Shopping at the Five and Dime

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.
