TJ had a backpack dilemma this year. He had to have a backpack that would hold a folder, but it also had to be small enough that he could handle it. A standard backpack is still way too big and his toddler sized backpack crushes folders. Ideally, I would have ordered him a backpack from LL Bean, but I procrastinated. And to be honest, I really didn't want to spend the money on top of all of the other school supplies I already had to buy.
The solution: a messenger bag.
I used the toddler messenger bag pattern from the book One Yard Wonders. I love this book so much! I have already completed a few patterns from it and find it to be the perfect book for when I get the urge to sew and need something fast.
TJ wanted a robot on his bag, so this is what we came up with...
And it holds a folder perfectly!

Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute little bag! I think I'm going to have to find me one of those books :)
