The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
I bought an original Fisher-Price bunny in 1982 for my son. Made my own for both daughters in 1985 and 1994 respectively. They look much like your original – loved to death. I am now making ones for my grandbabies. I have learnt that making three allows for washing without the hysterics.
Thank you for posting the pattern. I have misplaced the originals and was desperate!
My husband was the stay at home “homemaker” in Hibbing MN in 1990. Our first daughter got one of these and her first word was Bobby. The dental discussion told us to go with the thumb because it’s always there. We got a “spare Bobby”, then another and after daughter number two there were 5 Bobbies. Every Bobby was equal, went everywhere and got washed thousands of times. When our daughters were in college they asked to get Bobby in the mail.
