Do you remember this Wasp Bag that I made a while ago? I LOVE it! Every year for the past 3 years, I have made my mom a handbag for her birthday. The first year she asked for one around her birthday, the second year that one started to wear out so I sent her another, and this year I decided that she might like an upgrade again. It’s fun choosing fabrics that I think she will like and trying new patterns.
As you can see, my bag is much larger than hers. I scaled it down a lot. I have 3 kids, and still have one in diapers (hopefully not for long, we’re working on that). My mom doesn’t need a big diaper bag or old lady purse so I thought this would work out well for her.
I especially liked the fabric that I found for the inside (Hobby Lobby)
I filled it with some body products and a gift certificate to Cold Stone and called it good. She loved it.
Would you like to make your own Wasp Bag or a scaled down version?
Click here for a link to the tutorial. No, it’s not mine. I don’t have mad skills like that, but I can follow a pattern and share a link 🙂
Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!
Brandy that bag is so cute! If you lived closer I would pay/bribe you to make me one, cause I’m too lazy, and it looks a little too involved for me.
Beautiful bag! And seriously? I make out-of-country day trips just to have some Cold Stone goodness. So great gift!
I love everything you sew. And you choose really cute fabrics. Love that new little bag for you mom. I gotta figure out how to make one of those.
very cute. great job.!
Gorgeous gorgeous bags! Thanks so much for the link. I love the fabric in the bottom photo, is it a designer cotton that I can find somewhere?
Love the fabric and design of your mini wasp bag. hoping for a tutorial on how to do this one, eh.
