You may be rather surprised to see the pink Hello Kitty fabric in the pictures below. Let me assure you that I had to buy it specially for a request I had!
I had an email from a teacher at a local school who'd found my blog post on Wiggly Bags. She told me that one of her pupils, a 5-year old girl, was in need of a Wiggly Bag and loved pink and Hello Kitty, she asked if I could help. Of course I would.
I made three of the wiggly bags as I assume they will need washing. I used some satin ribbon and some grossgrain ribbon from my sash.
I then made a matching zipper pouch to put them in, of course she can use it for whatever she likes.
I even did a reasonable job on the ends of the zipper! I lined it with a cute strawberry print I'd picked up at Harrogate.
It broke my heart making these. I really wish there was no need for me to make them but as long as there is a need, I'll carry on. That reminds me, I must get in touch with the local hospital to see if they have a need for them.

The zipper ends look great, Wendy!!! It's funny how most little girls go through a PINK stage...
I was a little surprised at first, to see the pink pic. Good move to use that HK fabric - they look good.
Very cute!!!!!! That reminds me, have you see the whole Grumpy Cat thing? Did you see my post where Grumpy's face was photoshopped onto Hello Kitty but was called Hell No Kitty ?? lol
A feast of girliness, you will have made a little lady very happy!

Nothing wrong with a bit of girly pink, go on admit it you like it really....
Brilliant make honey and it is a very worthwhile cause! xx
Beautifully made, love the lining fabric too
I've not heard of wiggly bags before, but I've gone through the links now. Do you send them to your local hospital? Did you follow a pattern? If so can you send it through for me please? x
