Latest sewing project!

My latest sewing project proved to be my most difficult one thus far. I decided to make little airplane carry-on backpacks for my nieces and their upcoming trip to Disney World…

I had a bag like the ones I made and I studied it as much as I could without physically pulling out the seams. :) They are definitely NOT perfect and strangely, they ended up different sizes even though I cut the fabric to the exact same measurements?! I chose fabric that had hot pink and red (along with other bright colors mixed in) and then I lined the bags with red Mickey Mouse fabric. Here are the final products.

Thanks for humoring me and for your very kind comments about my last sewing project! It has been fun to find a creative outlet now that I’m not creating bulletin boards and adding clip art to classroom newsletters! :)

Here’s a shot of Asher waving! It’s his newest “trick!” IMG_5207

And in honor of his cute dog outfit I took a picture of him with his favorite dog. I had to give him a toy to hold so that he didn’t grab onto Daisy’s fur! :)
