The Littlest Warriors
Craft Hope is a love inspired project designed to share handmade crafts with those who need them. As you can see, they are on their 16th mission! And like all great ideas, theirs started small with big intentions. Their projects have blossomed into an awesome cause that helps people all over the world!
With this new Project, The Littlest Warriors, they are collecting handmade bags for the littlest cancer patients. Please go HERE for the details, but I will share some here with you…
*******
- Create a handmade bag for the littles to carry all their fun goodies to the hospital when needed.
- There is a pinboard on pinterest with a roundup of some great bag tutorials to get you started. Go HERE to see the pinboard and get some inspiration. Here are some of my faves:
- I think it’s a great idea to fill the bag with goodies (crayons, markers, coloring books, legos, etc.) before shipping it off to Craft Hope
- All the bags are due to by Monday March 12,2012. Go HERE for the address to send all your bags to, once completed
Need some fun fabric to sew up a few bags? I have just the ticket!
2 yards of adorable green elephant fabric! Can’t you see this fabric being made into some cute bags for the littles? It is a home dec fabric with a white background. The fabric is 54” wide so you can be sure to get a few sturdy bags out of this material :)
Here are the deets on this particular giveaway:
- Leave me a comment below telling me which bag you think you would make with this adorable fabric. Go HERE for some inspiration
- Make sure I have some way to get a hold of you by either having your email linked to your profile, or just leave your email along with your comment.
THAT’S IT!
A winner will be selected on Friday, February 17 and announced on the top of this post.

I would make the bad in my new burda style sewing handbook book.
I think I will make regular quick totes, so I can make a few. My son has also been treated at Children's in Minneapolis, for very much NOT life threatening issues, and got excellent care, so this one is close to my heart.
I think these little kid size duffels would look great with some green webbing to match the elephants!

Probably a market bag - such a good idea for the kids going through tough times...
My sister loves elephants, and her birthday is in a couple of months, I'd love to make a little grocery tote!!!
I have really been thinking about sewing for a reason rather then to save money on gifts and for the love of sewing. I wanted to make things for people in need. This project I am going to do even if I do not win the fabric. But I live to make bags and I am very excited to sew for a purpose. Thank you for getting involved in helping others out. I am excited to join. I really like the bag with some kind of crayon holder.
I love that messenger bag!
I'm about to have a baby in 2 weeks so I think I'd start making that kids bag with the crayons, or even a diaper bag.
That material's pretty cute.
That fabric would make such a cute messenger bag or two.
What a great idea. I have been looking for a new project to start. I'm defiantly making a couple of the the kid size messengers, would look super cute in elephants with a bright yellow or orange lining. I will have to get going on one of the drawstring tote as well in a girly print, so cute.

I would love to make a kids tote for my little girl that is going to preschool now. OR for my little boy that will be going before I know it! The fat quarter bag by cicadadaydream looks fun, easy and simple.
I would have to make a bag with a felt animal crayon holder on it, like the second picture you posted. This is dear to my heart because a family at church just lost their almost 2 y/o to leukemia. I pray that Craft Hope stays strong for a long long long time.
Not one, but two messenger bags following a tutorial I saw many time ago and I've always coveted to make. For my princesses, of courses, just about to turn three.
Btw, love your blog.

I love that messenger bag - totally would make that one!
I'd make the messenger bag from zaaberry. So cute! And I'd have enough for a few of them!

I think it would make a darling messenger bag. mrs.jeffery@hotmail.com
Just a simple little tote with two handles would be my choice...my daughter chooses her tote over most other bags :-)

I love the bag that has the crayon organizer. SO much fun!
I would love to use that as the inner lining on a messenger bag!
That messenger bag would be so cute with that fabric!
I have that messenger bag pinned and really want to try and make it. That elephant fabric would be so great for it. Thanks!
Two zipper hipster bag is calling my name. : )
I was going to say the messenger bag, but then my 4-year-old gasped with excitement at the monster/crayon holder bag. Looks like that's a goodie! :)
This post is mine forgot to put a contact.

I would make a little bag I designed for my daughter and her friends. We call it a "church bag" because it has spots for crayons, a notepad, and a tiny doll to keep her quiet, I mean occupied and happy, during church! :)

I would most definitely make the bag with the pencil holders!
This fabric is so cute! I would make a new diaper bag for our soon to be new baby!

It is so hard to decide. Maybe I'll make a variety- messenger bag and a tote with lots of pockets. :)
love the kids messenger bag!
I would choose the lovely messenger bag with the multicolored leaves toward the top of that Pinterest list.
Oh how cute! The elephants are darling!!! But, are you kidding??? lol You want me to choose just one bag???? I like the catch all, the messenger bag, the tot's back pack, and the cute tote you chose, (the first one), just to name a few, but then I love the monster, to pieces!!! That crayon tote is fantastic!
Thanks for the chance to win the elephants!
Hi! I loved this idea. great project!! I think rae has fabulous patterns for kids and i've been following for a while. I think those cute green elephants are perfect for a backpack http://www.made-by-rae.com/2009/03/finally-here-toddler-backpack-pattern/.
keep on the great posts and ideas!

I would make my mother in law a few grocery bags to take to the store with her. She just loves elephants! Love to win.
I would make a messenger bag! Such a cute fabric, there are no fabrics like this in my country.
I would love to make the kids messenger bag. What a great giveaway - for such a great cause!

I would make a simple tote (similar to the owl bag) with cute little embelishments (buttons, bows, etc), and fill it with some fun treasures.

Such a great project. I would like to make some of the bags for carrying crayons and coloring book. My daughter has been in the hospital a few times so I know it's challenging to keep kids occupied even when they aren't feeling well.
a crayon bag would rock this fabric. crayons and elephants make anyone smile! :)
I've been wanting to try the kids messenger bag. Thank you! mamalusco at ortelco dot net
I've always eyed that messenger bag!! The elephants would be so cute with it... I can see that with accents of red!
I'd love to make a tote with green straps and an elephant shaped coin purse to match.

thanks!
I think that fabric would be great for this kids adventure bag http://pinterest.com/pin/48413764713767233/
I do love that lunch bag --- the first one you showed in your favourites. I think the elephants would love grand made up in it ... something a child would surely love and not just for lunches. Imagine the treasures one could store and cart about in it!
Handmade bags for kids going through cancer treatments is a very nice idea. I know when I went for chemo as an adult, I needed a large bag just to carry all the things I would need to get me through the ordeal in some relative comfort.
How have I never seen this site before! The first bag I plan on making the not-so-big messenger bag. There is nothing cuter than a little kid sporting a mini adult bag. My next bag (because there is always a next) will be he monster bag. So, so cute!
What a great project. Would love to make a mini colouring tote (or the one with the monster).
I want to make that little Monster art tote!

The elephant is the Target house mascot at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. I would turn this into a tote and fill it with soaps and donate it there. I'm seeing elephants everywhere lately and feel very inspired!
I would make the messenger bag. It is so cute and would be fun for a little one. Thanks for the opportunity to win the fabric!
What cute fabric! I'd love to do the kids backpack in the Oliver + S book. It's small but adorable. Thanks for a chance to win! :)
Kids duffel by saltwater kids would be cute with this fabric.
