My kid and his buddy have a play date at least once a week. His mom and I happen to have a weekly play date as well, so it's convenient for us to do it together. ;)
They're that age where they insist on bringing every single toy they own with them anywhere they go. Plus the other momma is pregnant and needs to make room in her bag for more baby gear and less Hot Wheels and Buzz Lightyear action figures. So these guys needed a place to
'stache stash their little toys.
When I saw this Alexander Henry mustache fabric at Hobby Lobby, I knew I was destined to make these zipper pouches for the boys. I used
Anna's (Noodlehead) tutorial again and this time added a contrast bottom and left out the pocket. Since the bags would be otherwise identical, I hand embroidered their initials on the contrast. The black is Kona, and the interior is just some random zig zag from Hobby Lobby. They have it in a few colorways, and it doesn't feel all scratchy and cheap. I also used some red ric rac as a zipper pull, because someone's chubby little toddler fingers were having trouble grasping the tiny zipper.
So, I mustache you a question...what do you think? My guy is pretty impressed with his own little bag, even if he doesn't get the humor.

I love them! Super cute. I'm planning on making some of these for Christmas gifts, and it'll be my first time making any sort of bag. I'm a little nervous. I'm planning on getting a few practice ones out of the way next week.
