So I wanted a couple new things for The Highlands this weekend. My hope had been to have a design for a larger girl's dress (size 4-8) but it just wasn't ready in time. So instead, I bring you the Itty Bitty Tote Bag. Reversible like the Roundabouts. Some match dresses, some don't.
O saw them in my studio and immediately said "I want one!" He calls it a "Church Bag", as in bring it to church stuffed with little things to keep him occupied. I made a couple in non-girly prints, too. I know first hand that the desire to carry around a little bag stuffed with treasures (that some may call a purse) is certainly not gender specific.
One ended up green with orange handles. I looked at it. And looked at it again It screamed Halloween at me. So off to the fabric store I went for some Alexander Henry Halloween fabric. While The Dad had the kids up in NY for the weekend, I whipped up some little Trick or Treat Totes. Hooray for new ideas!
The only issue I have is with the name. While Itty Bitty Tote Bag is what popped into my head while I finished the first batch, it has evidently popped into lots of other people's heads, too. So I need another name. I thought of The Reversible Out-and-about (sounds cooler when said with a Canadian accent) but it doesn't quite roll of the tongue. Or the Kiddo Tote. I'm kind of leaning toward that one. Any ideas? What do you think?
The bags are really cute Julia! What about the Out and About Tote?
ReplyDeleteOops, just realized I wasn't thinking and put the name you had suggested! I was thinking EIO Carry Around Tote.
ReplyDeleteSo cute. How about Kids Treasure tote? Just thinking about how you referred to O using it! Good luck
ReplyDeletePerfect Pouch? Tiny Tote? Kids Carry-All?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those bags! Great idea!! Would be cute to make baby material ones and fill with little things a new mom would need, too! So many ideas to do with them. ;o)
