LadyBug Bend's Tooth Fairy Pillow

Does anyone remember loosing their teeth when they were little?  I remember a few.  I also remember it being gross to put a tooth under my pillow but I sure was excited to get money! When I was older, I remember wondering how my parents got the tooth from under my pillow and replaced it with cold hard cash.  Now that I'm a parent, these thoughts once again travel through my head.  Not only wondering how to get a tooth from under a sleeping child, but how to make it more fun for them as well.  Our oldest, Ali Cat, is 3.5, so we have a few more years before teeth begin to loosen.  

LadyBug Bend has created the perfect solution to these problems.  Introducing

Swoon Betty Bowler

Swoon Sewing Patterns participated in a Designers Challenge with Pattern Revolution and released the ever so lovely BETTY BOWLER! Oh how I love bowling bags.  Fun, classic, yet hip.

I made two Betty Bowling Bags.  

The first was as prescribed with middle stripes.  According to the pattern, the stripes should be wider, but I opted for more narrow in order to see more of the exterior yellow fabric.

Paired with piping and loops, this bag definitely has a professional look.

Also, the pattern calls for a stabilizer and fusible fleece adhered to the exterior pieces.  Purely as personal preference, I like a slightly less stuff bag and only use one or the other (stabilizer or fleece) depending on which I have on hand.

You can leave off the piping, but I believe it looks better with it.  Don't be scared of piping!  Swoon has a great tutorial on making and applying piping.  (Shh, I use store bought 90% of the time!)

Additionally, Betty has a 6" vertical exterior zipper pocket for your bowling accessories.  Who am I kidding, I don't bowl! She also attires two open interior pockets.  You could very easily add an interior zipper pocket as well.  I need to take an interior picture-she has a radical bag fabric!
