My summer break is not at all a break... It's a flurry of crafting and sewing and making deliciously healthy meals. It's the best kind of "break" I could possibly imagine. This project started as a birthday gift for one of my favorite three-year old monsters. He is a big fan of monsters and a big fan of reading (yaaaay!), so I wanted to combine the two into a fun birthday gift.
The best part about the pattern? The darling little library card pocket inside of the bag.
I ended up wanting to make bags for a family of little kiddos and so I started "mass producing." The first bag I made (the lime green one), I followed the pattern exactly, but because I was making so many, I wanted the pattern-cutting process to go faster, so I changed the dimensions just a bit. So as not to give
Shiny Happy World's pattern for free, I'll let you buy it on
Etsy and then make your own adjustments.
Getting everything laid out
Assembling the inside pocket
Assembling the outside pocket
Putting it all together
Adding some google-y eyes
Assembling the handles
Finishing it all up
Before flipping it inside out
And viola!
Aren't they adorable?
Now, on to the next project...
