On the Sewing Front

I mentioned in an earlier post that Kelsey starts preschool on Tuesday. She's quite excited and was in need of a new backpack for the occasion. Inspired by this pattern from Made by Rae I drafted my own pattern and went for it. If you're thinking that you recognize the fabric, you're right! It's a sheet that I also used to make the new beanbag cover a while back.

I think it turned out pretty cute and Kelsey likes it, so that's good! What do you think?



Here's my latest inspiration/obsession! I had a gift card to Barnes & Noble that was burning a hole in my pocket. I finally made a decision and ordered these books off of my wish list. I've flipped through them all and I'm loving them! Especially the pattern making book. I have to make one more backpack for little sister and then watch out...perfect t-shirt for me, here I come!
