Toddler backpack

 

It's been awhile since I've posted and I am finding out once you get out of the habit
 of posting on a regular basis, it's sooooo hard to get back into it.
Does anyone else have this problem?
 

I thought I would start back with something simple.

 

My niece, Braelynn, started attending daycare recently and needed something to carry her essentials. Her mom contacted me to ask if I could make a toddler size backpack.

 I made the toddler backpack in the photo below for Oakleigh a few years ago.
You can see the original post here.

Using a snap for closure verses a zipper, I found it a bit awkward to get things in and out. Don't get me wrong... I LOVED this little pattern, but Braelynn's mom needed something she could easily pack. I've been crazy busy lately and knew I would not have time to actually sew a backpack, so I decided just to embellish a purchased one.



I had no idea how long it would take or how hard it would be to find a toddler size backpack.

It probably would have taken me a lot less just to make it!

 

Until next time.....

 

Happy Sunday!
