I Made Something Else

As I said, I've been in this major sewing mood. So I've made a few more things. Landan got a Leapster 2 for Christmas with 2 games. It's a handheld learning game thing from Leapfrog. Anyway, I wanted a safe place to put them while we were in the car on trips and stuff. So I made him a customized bag. I got the idea and some inspiration and tips from the make it and love it blog to the right. Also I got some advice from my mom. Here are the pics.

Here is the Leapster 2 and a game
I started with two pieces of fabric with batting in between

I sewed them together in a couple places and put some bias tape on the top and bottom

Then I cut out strips that were tall enough for the games and as wide as the bag and put bias tape on the tops of both of those. these are going to be my pockets.

Then I sewed the pockets on and sewed dividers so each individual game has a pocket. You can't really tell from the picture but each long pocket is divided into 4 pockets so the bag will hold up to 8

Then I folded the bottom of the bag up and sewed the sides. then I put velcro on the top of the flap and the bag.

Then I made a strap for it and sewed that on. All done!! It's a little crooked because I can't figure out how to sew a straight seam but I'm learning.

Then I bought a pattern to make little Mary Jane type baby booties from the same blogs authors etsy shop. I've made only one pair. They turned out pretty good but they have some flaws. I plan to make a few more until I get it right and then I can make little shoes to match every outfit. I'm so excited.
