I have several friends whom, years ago, I was in a homeschool co-op with. We spent endless hours talking while our kids played together. The kids are all grown now, but we have kept our friendships alive with bi-annual birthday parties. The party for the winter birthdays is today, and this is what I spent yesterday making. They were pretty quick to put together, but I should have made the straps just a bit wider; they were a real bear to turn right side out.

There were several contests that life didn't let me enter at the time. Lately all my sewing has been last-minute, must get it done NOW projects. I also have a dress for my granddaughter cut out that was supposed to be in the print-mixing contest. Oh, well. Maybe next year, indeed!

And my friends loved them!

That has me thinking, we should do the upcycle, recycle and refashion contest in November - it would be perfect for sustainable Christmas gifts....
Great totes @WendyW
