I have made my first project from the New Oliver + S, Little Things to Sew book. \u00c2\u00a0I made the backpack for my horse crazy girl, Scarlett. \u00c2\u00a0She has been desperate for a new bag and I didn’t want to buy another made in China, fall-apart-the-next-day bag. \u00c2\u00a0It will serve as her ballet bag and perhaps for sleepovers too.<\/p>\n

I found the pattern easy to follow and there was no swearing or throwing of sewing items (oh I have been quite the diva in my sewing past!). \u00c2\u00a0Everything lined up and it sewed up beautifully. \u00c2\u00a0Of course, I couldn’t get a heavy duty zip, so had to buy a dress zip. \u00c2\u00a0I’m just hoping the zip will last. \u00c2\u00a0I used webbing for the straps and covered them in the flower material and I double sewed around the main body of the bag and lining, as our dear Scarlett lives life with exuberance and thus, so do her belongings.<\/p>\n

I have put the bag on her bed. \u00c2\u00a0We will see if she can find it amongst all the special things residing on her bed!<\/p>\n

I have added a ribbon to the zipper for ease of opening<\/p><\/div>\n

A peek inside the bag. The button at the back closes a little pocket to stow treasures<\/p><\/div>\n

I can’t wait to sew some more goodies from the book, just have to get rid of a sewing backlog. \u00c2\u00a0The material for the backpack was purchased at Lincraft. \u00c2\u00a0Jacinta x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
