hmmmmm, some are cute, others a bit overdone for my liking. still worth a look see, might give ya some ideas of your own to try. j.


When my 6 year old niece wanted to learn to crochet, I made her a simple quilted tote bag for her little box of hooks, scissors, tapestry needle, etc. and yarn. Well, I couldn't leave out her 4 year old brother, so I got out the old jeans I had been saving and made a bluejeans tote bag for him for his favorite Matchbox trucks. Tote bags from jeans can be reversible, are cute with the frayed edges either inside or out, can use the jeans pockets for extra little hidey- holes, are very sturdy for little boys, and don't look like purses.
