Two Red Bags

I had heard from Anastasia that Aberdeen had appropriated the drunken zebra library bag I had made for Nate not-quite-two-years ago. I figured Nate prolly was about ready for a bigger, more substantial bag, so I put bag fabric on my shopping list for last Friday's trip out to Burkholder's. I didn't know exactly what I wanted, but that didn't worry me.

When I saw this great Cat In The Hat fabric, I grabbed it up. The lining is also some kind of Dr. Seuss print. Nate's bag has a layer of batting between the outside and the lining.

In the same general area as the CITH fabric I found this other great fabric of black and white animals on red. All of the animals pictured really are black and white: cows, penguins, dalmatians, skunks, and sobered up zebras. So I grabbed a half yard to make a new bag for Aberdeen; it is lined with cow fabric. It isn't as big and it isn't as substantial as Nate's, and there's no batting. I figure the stuff a one-year-old hauls around isn't going to be that heavy!
