Trick or Treat Bag & Witch Shirt

Yesterday was my nieces second birthday and here is what I made for her.

Of course I appliqued something and I also made her a toddler size trick-or-treat bag/purse.

I bought the witch shoe applique from this etsy shop.

For the bag I somewhat followed this tutorial but I switched a lot up and made it a kid friendly size. I cut the straps 4"X16" and the panels for the bag at 9.5"X21". I used a little less than a fourth a yard in both fabrics (the inside is lined with the same fabric as the flowers made out of).

The ruffle is 4" X the length of my fabric and the pleated ruffle is 3" X the length or my fabric. You can see how to make a pleated ruffle here. I measured two inches down from the top of my bad and drew a line. That's where the top of my ruffle started and the pleated ruffle overlapped that. I just cut off any excess after getting the ruffles how I'd like them.

I think the birthday girl liked them. She carried the bag around with her baby doll shoved in it the rest of the evening. Happy birthday cutie!
