I finished the drawstring backpack. I used the cow pattern because it was what I had on hand.
She seemed to like it until she was followed around today being 'mooed' at. A kid at her school did ask if I could make him one like it. Go figure. One of those stinking grommets/eyelets came out. I think I'm going to take it back apart and re-do it. I made another one (purple) but it's too small for my daughter to use. It's more for a small child (preschooler). I plan to put the pic up when I get it. My borrowed camera had to go back.
Since the purple one won't work, I found some remnants at Wal-Mart that I'm working on. It's a black silky-feeling with heavy black lace overlay. When making the purple one, I figured out how to make it without using the grommets/eyelets. I even squared off the bottom. The black one is only half made so maybe I'll be able to get a pic up tomorrow or the next day before my daughter takes off with it. I wish they would have told us at the beginning of school that they would not be allowed to take the regular size backpacks from class to class. It would have saved me some money.
