Teacher requested each child to take a small back pack.
I had just the pattern.
The only grumble that I have heard about this pattern is the it is too small, perfect!
Along with topstitching everything I think this just added to the sturdiness of the finished product.
I will next time, Tilly said it did cut in a bit.
The piping was the last of the neon pink sent to me my sewing gal-pal Britters.
The bird stencil was found on Google and a freezer paper jobby.
The inspiration was all Pinterest.

It is, however, a very good pattern and has really good instructions.
I did not enjoy sewing it, not one bit, but I will make another... one day.
I would never, ever complain about buying a bag again. These things are a lot of work.
However, this is one study little bag and it is getting a lot of use.
~Tildy's Verdict~
I really like the water bottle holder. The bag is very comfy and works well.
I really like the bird and the pink, rosey lining.
Lots of people in my class commented on my bag. They said they really liked it and my teacher said I was very spoilt.
That made me feel happy and joyful.
If I got to have another one, I would like it a bit bigger so I could use it for school. Maybe a blue, purple and pink one?

It really is a small bag! I feel like it is best for preschoolers. My daughter is four and takes hers to 4K. We'll get her a larger bag when she is in full-day kindergarten next year. But the design is adorable and she likes it. She stuffs it full of toys and takes it on trips, and lugs it around the house a lot, too.
ReplyDeleteLove your version, the piping really adds a lot!
Thank you Emily.
ReplyDeleteI had a few friends who had already made it give me lots of tips, the size was mentioned. Luckily, that was in my favour.
I agree, it is a great pattern, goes together really well.

Love all the little details. The neon with the natural calico is very modern but tasteful ;o)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI bow down to you bag making skills.

What a cute bag! But seriously how divine is your baby? I just could gobble that cuteness up! She's adorable :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I just love her chubby chubby cheeks. She has kept them although she has stretched now.
DeleteThe bag is well loved so it was worth it.

I knew you could do it, and you did a damn good job too!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that the bag I made got stolen? I never did make another one but seriously enjoyed the pattern.
You are kidding, stolen?
DeleteI guess that is a pretty big compliment...
I didn't enjoy it but I think the metal zipper may have contributed to that. It is good and strong but I hate the feel of it scratching me.
I will use a heavy duty plastic next time.
Thank you!

Very cute! The piping detail is fab & love that ear tag! Great idea with the cotton webbing. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteEar tag, he he, I must correct that.

The stencil and piping are gorgeous. Surely wrestling bags is no different to denim jeans? Maybe even easier, no?
ReplyDeleteI think the metal zip was the big turn off, I think I make go with heavy duty plastic next time, and there will be a next time as it is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
