All this thinking about book bags reminded me of the book bag I had in kindergarten. It's memorable - not because it had Mickey Mouse on it - because the whole length of the top on the inside was lined with a large piece of velcro. I guess velcro was not a very common thing at that time, and when I got to school and opened my bag...you can imagine the loud and disturbing sound it made! As if I had just ripped the whole thing apart! I never enjoyed being the center of attention, which is probably why I remember this experience.
Back to 2007. I couldn't think of where to buy a book bag. They just don't seem that common. And I guess I was sort of in the mood for a project, so I made this reversible bag for Jemma:
It's quite a distraction for her in the mornings as she decides which side she wants it on.

You sew? Do you have an embroidery machine to do her name? Wow. The bag is darling, a double whammy of cuteness, I'm impressed.
When Whitney was in preschool her teacher requested tote bags as well, so I had my mom sew some ribbon and embroider Whitney's name on it, but yours is much cuter.
Hey Laurie, I am getting our own blog started. I have just gone through yours it is so fun to see everything. I love the cute bag. I hope the birthday party was fun. I looked fun.
