Hi guys,
I hope I am not late to the party! Some family stuff came up which delayed my post but here I am!
So this blog hop is especially for the boys – things that we make for the boys and men in our lives! Hosted by Mdm Samm and our cheerleader is Amy.
If you are new to my blog please have a look around. Feel free to follow me on Bloglovin, I am also on Facebook and Instagram. I am always posting photos on Instagram so you will see what I am up too over there way before I blog about it! Links for those are on the side bar.
Now, I had a dilemma this week because the project I was going to share is going to be published so I can’t show anymore pictures….and in all honesty I haven’t finished it yet either. But I will give you a sneak peek -
So What did I make for this blog hop? I thought for ages and came up with something that I know my youngest will need when he starts school next year and it will last him years. My oldest is still using his after 3 years!
It is a humble book bag. In our school these are used for homework, home readers and can also be used as library bags.
I found this cool shark drill in my stash so decided to use it. It is also good if the bag stands out from the crowd so it is easy to see and be grabbed out of the box quickly.
For the lining I used some of my sister in laws dyed fabric. I used velcro for the closure and just put a very simple handle on.
I hope my post hasn’t sounded rushed! I was typing as fast as I could go!
