little boy toy tote

I've been dreaming of these for months [emphasize the "s" in month]. My two boys are constantly trying to pack around a bazillion toys at one time and I find them scattered throughout my house as they fall from their full hands.

Little boy toy totes:


little boy toy tote I
little boy toy tote III
little boy toy tote II
little boy toy tote IV


-one large pocket in back,
-two pockets on front (one small, one big),
-jean pocket attached on front,
-side hook on left side for hanging swords or the like,
-interfaced with super duty duckcloth for durability,
(I knew that they would be stuffed with cars, power rangers, trains,
books, dinosaurs, tools, more cars, so it HAD to be strong)
- tie closures around waist,
- fits my 5 & 3-yr-old perfectly.

The pattern will be up for sale in my etsy shop sometime next week.

V&Co. started a 'link post' for anyone to show what they have been up to. See here.
Little boy toy totes are #13. LOTS of fun projects from so many people.
Thanks V&Co for letting us 'toot our own horns' every once in awhile.

    so so cute. I don't sew nearly enough for my boys. What a great idea. In a week or 2 I want a report...does it really help them keep their toys picked up?!?

    these are way too cute!!! my son loves to just hook things on his belt loops or carry a backpack but that seems pale in comparison to this idea.

robin egg blue dresser

The toy/sewing/exercise/office room is where the majority of our time is spent throughout the day, and I hated looking at that ugly dresser (see below). After long hours of sanding, priming, painting, sanding, and staining...it is now my favorite part of the room. This dresser has earned it's way to be here and I'll tell you why. My sweet husband wasn't very anxious for me to get started on this because I think he thought that HE would end up sanding, priming, and painting, but I'm happy to say that I did it all, minus the hardware placement! And...I bought a lighter paint than this and once it was time to paint, I knew it wouldn't work so I had to return it and go darker. My husband was rolling his eyes. Then...after cleaning the brushes in our upstairs laundry sink, I left the tube hanging out of the sink that drains the washer. I started a load of laundry and headed downstairs. Thirty minutes later, we noticed water dripping from the dining room light fixt...

her playhouse

I saw this playhouse first at homemade by jill (see her flickr group here ), then found a few others here , and knew it would be the perfect gift for my baby girl's first birthday. She loves crawling in and out of the door and doghouse then peeking out of each window. The flowers aren't in view, but she carries them around along with her growing veggies and apples from the tree. I had so much fun making it. It was like drawing with fabric....and I love to color, although I think I'm better at sewing it then actually drawing it. If you decide to make one...I'd love to see your playhouse. Mine fits over our dining room table (which barely seats 4) but most are made to cover a card table. I just measured the table, cut out each side, sewed on each side, then put it all together. The windows were a little tricky just because that plastic is kind of hard to sew with, but I just put paper underneath it so it would slide on the sewing machine, then riped it out when it...

all the stockings were hung

I FINISHED!!! I'm so excited how they turned out. Yes, they are copycat from Garnet Hil [see below], but when they charge $50 per stocking you can't blame me right? I love sewing with felt. Every time I do it I have so much fun. It's like painting a picture with my bernina.
