Necessities
First day of school means we need the necessities. I have the great gift of procrastination as we have discussed before but even with that gift the necessity of a backpack was filled just before (two days to be exact) the first day of school. I used the same pattern from which I had made Sis’s last year (she was devastated that I did not make her a new backpack for this year…a bit of a touchy subject with her).
Brother picked out his fabric from the ever growing stash of fabric and asked daily if I was finished yet with his backpack. The little man was elated when I finally held it up for him to behold. Whew, there was so much anticipation built up in him it could of been really bad if he declared it not wonderful. While I was working on this pattern I was reminded of how fabulous this it is so if you are a sewer, don’t be intimidated! It really is doable! Honest!
