Last week I pulled some late-nighters finishing some things for the boys. I finally got to making them rag quilts. Nate’s is all Lightening McQueen fabrics and Wesley’s is this funky loud pirate print. Hrm, guess there should be a photo here. Too lazy right now.
I also made them some cute little bunnies using this pattern. I haven’t been able to take pictures of the ones I created yet because they’re hiding in the basement until Easter.
Aaaannnd I made Nate this cute little backpack using Made by Rae‘s pattern. Because I can never just make a pattern the way it’s written I had to get a little more complicated and I added some fleece to the inside to give the bag some more stability. I used a cotton print so it was pretty flimsy, she recommends a heavier fabric, I didn’t listen. I added a little pocket to the outside too, for change or his library card, I don’t know it’s just a fun detail.
I’ve also been trying to use what I have on hand and not buy more stuff. So instead of piping I used bias tape and positioned it just so. I love how it turned out. Nate loves to leave with a backpack when I walk them across the street to the sitters. Guess he wants to be like his goes-to-school big brother!
