The Sunnyboy Incident


Ever tried to make one of those little zippered pouches? I thought I might whip one up last night figuring that they wouldn't be difficult so I certainly wouldn't need one of the many tutes online for them. So there I was, sewing, chatting and watching telly all at the same time thinking how super easy and how super clever I was....until I turned it round the right way and discovered I'd sewn one of the sides totally wrong!
"Not to worry," said Mr Jettas Nest, "you could use it for a Sunnyboy bag."
It's been a very long time since I last had a Sunnyboy, but he was right! It looked exactly like a Sunnyboy and so my little Sunnyboy bag was born.......and now I can't stop making them!
I'm really surprised that Sunnyboys are still around too, in enticing flavours such as 'Glug Cola' (I'm wondering what's glug about it), 'Razz Raspberry' and 'Orange Explosion'!!

  9. I really like them and thought of sunnyboys as soon as I saw them too. Where are they? I haven't seen them in yonks but I guess I now longer have small kids.
