Last few days I worked on a present for my niece’s Birthday. I wanted to make something special and handmade for her (she seems interested in painting and crafts now) so designed a bag and a matching purse. Both pieces are sewn of denim, the lining is cotton fabric with beautiful elephant print. Same fabric I made the bag lining from was used for the machine embroidered appliques, few of the beautifully printed elephants were cut, backed and embroidered to decorate the bag and the purse, I also hand-embroidered few details with thicker thread for more texture. The bag has a back-pocket that closes up with a zip and another double layered inside pocket with denim border. The shoulder-strap length is adjustable. Think both pieces turned really cute :)) My niece really liked the present when she got it, so mission accomplished!

I’m currently working on my handmade bags collection so I’m wondering if it’s worth making few pieces for kids too? Maybe few items like this will be good additions to my shop and my Etsy store.
