Another ABC I-Spy Book!

When it came time to pay for my fabulous new bag,
Jen suggested that we "do tradesies" instead. FABULOUS idea! She picked an ABC I-Spy book for her adorable daughter Avery!


I modified my original version, adding a velcro tab closure and handle. I'm very happy with how it turned out -- and I love that alphabet fabric for the cover!


Airplane, Butterflies, Clouds, Ducks, Elephant, Fish, Guitars, Hands, Ice cream cone, Jigsaw puzzle, Kites, Ladybugs, Moon, Numbers, Ostrich, Penguins, Quilt, Rabbits, Stars, Tennis rackets/balls, Unicorn, Volleyball, Watermelon, eXit sign, Yarn, Zebras!


I love the handle!!

It was so much fun making this one, I think maaaaaaaybe I could make a few more! :o)

Your book really helped me make my grandsons first book. Yours is amazing!,! Please please tell me how you did the handle. I am trying to figure it out on my own and I'm not a sewer. God bless, cyndy

I think you should record a video about your article and put it up in the soundcloud. And if you want to promote it, you can always buy tiktok followers in order to wind up their number.
