a handmade gift for the birthday girl...

My bestfriend, Erica, celebrated her birthday (big 3-0) yesterday (Saturday). Erica's family always knows how to throw a good party--good fooods (lots!), friends, and games! So we sure did not want to miss this party. The party was hosted by her sister at her house.

For her 30th birthday I thought about giving her something special. So I decided to sew her a bag.



This bag is just the right size, I thought. Not too overly large; not too small.
It measures 13" high, 12.5" width at the bottom, 11" width at the top (opening), and the strap was about 25" long. It has one pocket inside and a magnetic closure.

So there you go, a handmade gift for the birthday girl!
