Cheerleader bag with pom-poms

My first Cheerleader bag! What do you think? I made this for a little girl who is a cheerleader for a local private school. Her mom liked my ballet bag as previously posted, but requested a cheer bag. Well, what would replace the tulle from the ballet bag was the question? I purchased this material from our local fabric stop, it has a metallic finish which reminded me of pom-poms and it doesn't fray or ravel when cut. Little did I know, that many hours of hand sorting and sewing would go into this bag-it will be an original! HA! Too much time involved for such a small bag. However, I thought it turned out really cute. The pom-poms remind me of the real things. The applique was a metallic megaphone monogrammed with the school initials and the back was the name of the little girl.

Ballet Bag

Anna Laura is so excited about ballet. We sign up for registration on August 6, 2010 here in Laurel. She will be taking ballet and tap. She asks daily "how many more days momma"? Summer laziness will soon come to an end with the start of homeschooling and all of our activities. Kolby will begin violin lessons again the end of the month as well. I have been sewing a little. I wanted to make Anna Laura a bag for her shoes and stuff for ballet. It had to be cute, functional, and just "all about ballet". Here is my first-plan to do a few more. Hope you like it!
