Yet another birthday…..which means another gift to give. For me, I love it when it means a gift I can make. I don’t have any daughters so whenever I can use “pink”, I jump at the chance.

Furthermore, this I-Spy bag is something I’ve been eager to try to make for a good year now. Brenna, my good friend’s 4 year old daughter, was my perfect excuse. In lieu of a store-bought gift bag or wrapping paper, I made a little matching gift bag to hold the I-Spy bag. However, I’m noticing that the little drawstring pouch is just the right size to hold 6 of her “My Littlest Petshop” kittens. *grin*

Brenna’s I-Spy Bag

If you don’t already know, an I-Spy bag has all sort of small objects hidden among the pellets. The object of the game is to manipulate the bean bag around to expose (or find) each of the listed items.

What held me off for a year to try this out? I admit, it was the clear vinyl. Without a teflon foot, it’s nearly impossible to sew over the vinyl. I improvised with tissue paper and,fortunately, had success. Yay!

Note to self: look for a teflon foot soon!
