Pattern: Made by Rae's Toddler Backpack
Textiles Used: Thick Echino Linen from my stash
Sizing: Toddler
The Good: I love it. So cute and perfect for my daughter. I love the piping detail especially. It was really simple to make. I wanted something cute, but not overly feminine.
The Bad: I wish that I had added interfacing to my outer fabric like she suggests in the instructions. I thought that my fabric would be stiff enough to hold it's shape, but I think it's just a little too flimsy.
Changes Made: none
Conclusion: Awesome result. I highly recommend it.
This is so cuuute. That fabric looks fantastic, and the piping looks superb!
ReplyDeleteooh YAY! Super cute.
ReplyDeleteI always think it will be stiff enough w/out the interfacing too, and then it's like D-OH!
So glad you liked it!!!
Kelli,
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute! I love the fabric and the color you chose for the piping, zipper, and straps.
Oh, what a cute bag!! I love the colors of the fabric, and I'm just wondering: What does your daughter put in it? My daughter uses hers for dolls and books. I occasionally find some random thing I've been looking for in there too! ; )
ReplyDeletethanks everyone. Vanessa - I actually havn't given it to my daughter yet. She is gone on a short trip, but I can't wait to give it to her tomorrow. I am guessing I will put some coloring books and snacks in there for when we go to church or on outings. I actually can't wait to see what she puts in there.
DeleteKelli - It's Rikki (Purdy) Hein and I just did a little searching to find you on the internet. I figured you had a current blog out there. Anyway, just wanted to say HOLY COW you're amazing! I knew you were so talented, but man. I'm going to send my mom the link. I'm totally impressed.
ReplyDeleteAlso, when do you guys move to NYC? Me and my husband (+ baby) live in Philly. It would be fun to see you and Tyson again! Anyway, just wanted to say hi. Maybe I should've found an email address instead of writing in the comments... oh well. :)
