toddler backpack

Last week Rosie came out of her bath and saw my sewing machine set up on the dining room table. She started jumping and squealing, "New dress! New dress!"

It really warmed my heart.

But I wasn't making a new dress.

Here's a few fuzzy pictures of the toddler backpack I made for her out of a rice bag and some corduroy. It turned out pretty well, but I think I'll alter the pattern a little if I make it again. I'd like the opening to be a little bigger. And, yeah, next time I'll make something a little girlier. But I think this is cool.

Looks like she thinks it is pretty cool too.

Not on topic, but I use that same rice and it is sooooo good! I can't believe the directions say to add salt and oil to the water when you cook it. I went back to Costco the buy it over the weekend, and I almost cried when I saw they don't carry it anymore!

I think you should make a matching tote bag for yourself, it's pretty cool.
