i made this for my nieces birthday in 2 weeks. i'm also making her a tiny teddy bear and a quilt for the bear.

that is so cute, what a great idea, my 15 year old would love it

OMG! I love that, Klue!!!!!! How cute! I would love to make that for my granddaughter. What pattern did you use? You make me smile!

That is absolutely adorable!!! Awesome job!!! Your neice is just gonna love it!!

here's the link to the pattern.

i only changed it slightly because she wants you to just glue the cupcake top onto the base.

i just did a top stitch to attach the cupcake top to the base (glue would never last with my niece)

its a little pricey but i bought a few patterns from them and the shipping was the same if i bought 1 or 3 patterns.

oh that is darling! and the bear and quilt will be the frosting on the c'cake. i'm sure that will be a birthday hit.

That is darling. She is lucky to have you as an aunt.

They're just too cute!

thanks for the compliments everyone.


i can't wait for her birthday. her grandmother is giving her a sewing machine and a wheeling tote so she can bring her own machine to my house for her sewing lessons.


did i mention she'll be 5 years old and she's already learned to make a tote bag, a table runner, and placemats.

the bag looks simple enough to just do a plain bag in what ever sixe you want and do the cupcake top and add it to. I will have to take out my pencil and paper and start sketching

That's adorable!

That is soooo cute!!! I bet she's going to just totally love it!! :D :D

One of my granddaughter's will be 6 in August, and I was wondering when would be a good age for her to learn..... It's so great you've taught your neice to sew already!! :-)

get her started now. its such a great age when learning everything is cool and fun.

my niece loves making gifts for everyone - she loves the positive feedback.

its really brought her out of her shell and she has tons of self confidence now.

That's just too cute. :) Reminds me of when my daughters were younger, they loved stuff like that. You did an excellent job in making it, too.

What an adorable bag. My daughter is on a cupcake kick lately so I am going to share the link with her. Thanks

thats all it is.

had i known that she wanted you to just glue everything together i never would have purchased the pattern.

when you look at the photo on the site it looks like things are sewn together but they aren't.

she did everything with fabric glue - even the buttons she has on her bag are glued on.

the size of the bag is listed on the site and it would be very easy to make up this pattern on your own.

you don't even have to make the scallop edge you could just sew ric rac where the 2 fabrics meet and it will look like a cupcake.

:D Sew cute! Is it your design?

judee

no its a "to buy" pattern - here's the link. i purchased the pattern but if you know how to make a tote bag you don't need to purchase it.

you could just figure it out.

She will love it. So cute

Very true, I like the edge on the icing though it gives it character, and if making more than one, just layer the fabric and cut all the pieces to make them unique to that cupcake, my girls will love it, and they are older, not small at all, I have a pattern in a magazine on an animal tote and the 15 year old would like one of them.

That's so cute! I'm sure she will love it and all her friends will want one too.

it will be her 1st project on her new sewing machine.

my kids will want me to do it even though they all know how to sew

You just cemented your place as her favorite aunt!!!! That is the cutest childs handbag!!! Please post pics of the teddy and his quilt too!!!! :D :D :D

This is just to cute!!! My DD would love something like this. You did a wonderful job on it!!

KLue, that is soooooooo cute! I know a whole bunch of little girls and some big ones who would love it too!

KLue,
Your cupcake tote is just precious. I have two grand daughter's that I
know would just love to have one like it!! :D Thank you for sharing.
Sulabug,
:D :D :D

Cute.

HOW CUTE!!!! Love it!!!! I have that exact same material you used for the bottom. I bought it awhile back and did not know what I was gonna due, i bought it cause I loved it. I make purses as well so I figured one day I would use it for that but have not so far.
Anyway I just love that little purse----great job!!!!

That is just too cute!! I'm sure she'll love it!!!

That is so cute and what little girl wouldn't love it!

Klue, That's just the cutest bag. I'm sure your niece will love it. And it's wonderful, that you're teaching her how to sew.

Cute cute cute klue. You do such nice work.

She's going to love her adorable bag!

Your niece is going to love it! Very cute :!:

KLue that came out adorable. I love it!

I have both of those fabrics, and a grandbaby or two...woo hoo!
thanks, klue! :D she's gonna love it. can't wait to see the bear with blanky too!

well i've just finished the bear and lets just say its very primitive looking - i'll post pics when i finish the bear quilt.

the quilt for the bear is just blue and white squares - nothing fancy.

how great! you'll be able to make some too.

before you know it the cupcake will be the new fad across the country.

for the handle i used the premade baby blanket binding the store had the multicolor and i thought it matched really well.

that is so cute she,s going to love it
