When we signed O up for tap/ballet classes last week her teacher told us she would need a dance bag. My first inclination was to make a drawstring bookbag with an embroidered ballerina or fairy on it. Then I remembered that I'm almost 38 weeks pregnant and feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and a little irritable. I decided to take the easy way out and applique DANCE onto a canvas bag from Hobby Lobby. This bag was quick and easy to make, and O was thrilled.
O now thinks that all bags should have words on them...she took her bag with a stethoscope and "shotmaker" (syringe) with us to my midwife appointment yesterday (for her baby dolls), and she said it should say "nurse" on it :)

perfect! We are actually signing Maddie up tomorrow for tap/ballet class! I just might have to borrow your bag idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike!
ReplyDeleteI just signed Nani up for ballet too. I was going to decorate her bag with fabric paint, but I like your idea much better! It turned out so adorable!! Great job!
