Something she can use…

I wanted to interject a bit of a homemade element in our Christmas… thus the homemade fabric briefcase for Miss Baby as her “something she can use” Christmas gift:

I found a most helpful tutorial for making this little briefcase. I reworked the dimensions to fit Miss Baby’s pint-size stature, about 2/3 of the dimensions in the tutorial.

The front of the briefcase is made of a corduroy print. I added a machine embroidered monogram and a puppy button for fun.

The briefcase opens up into a big pocket for coloring books on one side, and  slots for crayons and a smaller pocket on the other side:

Since it was Christmas, I slipped in an entire sheet of stickers for baby as a bonus! Normally, she is allowed 2-5 stickers a day when she asks for them. Within five minutes, half of the stickers were lovingly transferred to Miss Baby’s best furry friend:

The smaller pocket will also function as diaper clutch when she is out and about with her little briefcase.

It was a fun gift to make for Miss Baby. Making her something for Christmas is a tradition I intend to keep.

Thanks for stopping by. I wish you a lovely day!
