I learned that she likes bright colors and Teal is her favorite so it was a perfect match when I found that I had this fabric in my stash.

I used a Orange-ish Red batik for the lining that coordinated perfectly.

This was really quick and easy to create.  I didn't time myself to see if it really took just an hour but I'm really pleased with the way it turned out.

She absolutely loved it and was shocked to learn that I made it and didn't buy it somewhere.  The look on her face when she realized that I made it especially for her was priceless.

I've decided that I really like making gifts for Christmas and I already have some thoughts on what I can make for folks next year.
