Girly Fairytale Messenger Bag

The bright pink stitching really sets this one off. 

I don't know how I ever lived without this scalloped stitch.

This bag came together quickly after cutting, but I really took my time placing and cutting the pieces to make the most of this pattern. 

I'm not sure how I ever overlooked this pattern - I guess I wasn't in a girly state of mind. 

Look! A pink squirrel!!!  Eating apples, or something apple-like.  Well, not eating so much as reaching and picking. But there will be eating of these apple-like tree fruit. Oh yes!

There's a scene with two albino bunnies with a bright red eye running across a field with a wooden fence - so adorable.

I couldn't fit all of these elements of adorableness on this particular bag.  Thank jeebus I got three metres of this fabric!



But what I DID get on this back - on the back - is the foxy red fox with the birthday cap. Or toque.  I haven't decided. 

He's got his tongue sticking out, like he's licking his bright red chops.  On the pattern he's actually staring at the running bunnies.  So I'm happy to have saved the bunnies from the lecherous stare of the birthday fox.


I think of this fabric pattern as telling a fairytale.  There's the cartoony hungry red fox, the running bunnies, and the pink squirrel climbing a tree for his meal. 

There's a poem in there somewhere.  I'll tell it to myself when I go to sleep.

Bonsoir!
