I always feel bad that I sew gifts for my nieces (like the donut shop set) and their brothers get nothing handmade. When I broached this to Dave, he explained that boys (for dress-up outfits anyway) like to wear their outfits out and ride bikes and climb trees whereas girls like to wear theirs in more careful ways and preen in front of a mirror and get in character indoors more than boys. So whatever we sew for them has to be practical enough to be like normal clothes rather than costumes. Interesting! I never knew that. I guess I've neither had sons nor been male myself, so I'm not bashing myself on the head for not knowing. Just as well I didn't sew the boys their Hobbit feet then, I guess!<BR/><BR/>But enough about me - I say that bag you made is very cool. The strap is so hip! I bet you made it yourself with a grommet setter! And orange says to me "hunting" so that has a nice rough-it-out, outdoorsy, non-Princessy touch. The CDs - brilliant!LiErhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13022645291278425282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17705339.post-45642312101484850362009-02-25T11:49:00.000-06:002009-02-25T11:49:00.000-06:00I love this bag!

He would fill it with all the junk mail that he stashes around here.

(If you had monogramed it with PS then Jen could have used it if he doesn't--as a little bag of extras, like at the end of a letter.) ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
