Backpacks and purses- unique, hand sewn by Donna

The timing was perfect. I was enjoying a summer afternoon with my vibrant grandchildren, who are sprouting like 'sunflowers' not weeds! Changing outfits during the day was a frequent activity, as to fit in with our next adventure! My granddaughter grabbed a pair of her jean shorts from the prior summer. Not surprising, she had 'outgrown' her favorite shorts. I pondered saying, "time for a second hand store run"!  They agreed. I then had an ah-huh!

Later that week the shorts came out of the 'give away' box and I began cutting. Taking into consideration my granddaughters favorite colors and personality, I pulled together various nick knacks to 'doll' up the unfinished project. Before I knew it, I had created a purse with her outgrown jean shorts. I then showed my spouse the final project. I can count on his rigourous honesty and was prepared for the truth. He gave me a thumbs up and a bravo. This was my prompting!  
On my granddaughters birthday I decided to hand deliver her new purse (once jean shorts). When I arrived, my granddaughter was escorting her two friends to their mothers car. She was excited to open her gift with her friends present. She examined the purse carefully and looked at me with a precious smile, saying "I love it Nana, these were my shorts"! One of her friends then said, "how cool is that?" The girlfriends excitably asked me if I could make them a purse. Their mother carefully looked over the purse and commented, "what a clever idea and so cute!" I was naturally over joyed, the purse got a plus! I agreed to make them a purse using their outgrown jean shorts.
The purse saga continues. I have ventured out. With school days approaching, backpacks seemed practical and affordable. Every backpack or purse is different. Often, color choices, themes, and jeans are that of the child or adult.  The requests have increased and may be rocketed (after all God planned this, that I am convinced).  With a simple idea, little money, time, novel-fun ideas and  the Lords guidance this journey continues. 


Blessings to you my friends. Order today!
