Penguin backpack || LLTSA#2

I loved this project and that penguin, he needed to be in my home. My kid makes the cutest penguin noises. I don’t know what letters to type to make that sound, so, take my word for it.

One thing I’ve come to love about sewing this year is that if you can follow directions, you can make just about anything.  The people who make these patterns do such a great job of giving you all the information you need, taking away all excuses not to try.  You cut out all the pieces and little by little you see your project taking shape.  And was my little encouragement to all the I-can’t-sewers out there. Because, you can. No seriously, you can.

Jessica and the rest of us are working our way through the wonderful Little Things to Sew book, by Oliver + S. This month, the backpack.

Whenever he puts it on, that little boy of mine does this running dive.  Apparently, it’s also a magical super hero backpack.

  2. @Jessica The bike fabric is from joanns, it's a light flannel. I they never saw who makes it, snobby joanns.

  3. That is awesome!!! You're becoming quite the seamstress and I do appreciate the encouragement. Not that I need to pick up another hobby, but one day, I'd like to make my own bedding for my future children. ;D
