We tend to give children of a certain age some money for their birthday, to save for something big or to add it together with gifts from others. I showed my daugther this book by 'angry chicken' Amy Karol and told her she could easily make the pouch on the front.
We altered the size to fit the two pieces of scrap fabric my daughter had chosen and this is what she made. I'm curious to see what she'll be making for another cousin now.
