Little Jilly Bag!

 
 
hi there!
 
i was thinking of all those who've entered my giveaway yesterday
who have more than one little girl needing a bag...
 
so i set out to make another one just in case it's needed
or
it could be second prize.
 
weeeell a funny thing happened...
catastrophic at the time really.
 
i was busy cutting out the red spotty lining
then cut out the little squares at the bottom edges so that it has a base...
then
oh, no!
i realised i'd cut them out at the top not the bottom...aaarrrahagggg!
 
but then not only did i make one mistake...hehe
but another..
i was measuring the amount needing to be taken off the other side of the bag
&
whooops!
i took off a full half inch more on that side.
 
well i evened it up...
&
it became shorter,
but sweeter i think!
 
talk about making strawberry jam out of squished strawberries..hehe!
 
i've also made the front pocket wider...
so i thought it needed a completely new name
so it's my "little jilly bag".
 
if you want to enter the giveaway...
just comment on the previous post.
it's still going 'til sunday night.
 
haveagoodweekend!

p.s...mr t took this gorgeous photo for me...you can see the budding jacaranda tree and a brewing storm in the background.
