I hope everyone had a very Happy Mother's Day. I did some sewing the night before our mother's day breakfast at Boulevard Cafe. A place that's casual and that can hold 19 people with a reservation. I made gift bags that were based off of the l'occitane sachets. I think they turned out well. A little awkward because I sewed the inside with french seams but had to tweak slightly to get the bow/knot part of the bag right. Here are the pictures:
...and a few drawstring bags:
I filled these with soaps and hand lotions from l'occitane and some mini journals from here.
A quick little picture of Ava that she let me take of her on mother's day.
Next up...posts to finish on Paris.
Ava is so cute!
Beautiful bags! I have the first two fabrics as well.
