(Some of you might remember this- at the time my children were suffering from the common childhood ailment "Koolaid Moustache". We are having another fairly serious bout of it this year.)
The bag was so big and sturdy that you could put a kindergartner in it so I named it the Kindergartner Bag. All of my teacher friends/family loved it and wanted one, so I decided it would be my go-to gift for all teachers- even non-kindergarten teachers.
(You never know when you'll have to carry around a little kid in a giant tote bag.)
Here is this year's "kindergartner bag":
 |
| The teacher has this butterfly print in her classroom as a curtain and a pillow so I know she likes it. |
 |
| Her favorite color is yellow. The lining on this is a vintage sheet. |
 |
| Added yellow rick rack too- fun! And it helps stabilize the interfacing where I had to piece it. These bags are so big that I have to piece the interfacing before I can use it. |
 | |
| This bag has 3 pen pockets and a cell phone sized pocket on top of a book/folder pocket. There is also a book/folder pocket on the other side. Brady chose a "Where's Waldo?" book at the used book store to put inside the pocket. |
Stats:
28" wide on top
20" tall
20" wide on bottom
8" deep

I feel like I am a bag lady instead of a quilter lately. I have gone through two BOLTS of interfacing since Thanksgiving. I'm gonna have to see about getting that stuff wholesale!
I need about 10 of those for when kindy kids get unruly. You have until the end of January to make them all since school is out here for summer. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe tote is adorable.
And I hear lots of hard scrubbing solves koolaid moustache but doesnt prevent it from coming back unfortunately.
