backpack backpack
finally heaved myself out of the recent sewing slump and made some long-awaited (by eve) backpacks for the girls today. i used the backpack pattern from lotta jansdotter's simple sewing book, with some adjustments. the most major; re-sizing for toddler and little girl.
i love making these girls match. let's hope they don't hate me for it later.
ruth will soon be getting an "r" on hers. my earlier machine "r" attempts turned out badly, so i'll be doing a little hand embroidery this weekend. or maybe some applique. . . what'll it be, what'll it be?
first things eve HAD to put in her backpack: skirt, pants, shirt, panties and a little monkey.
things eve HAD to carry in her backpack for the maiden voyage outside: the treats, a car and a lion.
ruthie could not have cared less about the contents in her bag. she was just pumped that "ru batbat lite e!" (ruth's backpack like eve's)
with the awkward amount of fabric i have left, i think a hat and tote incorporating herringbone tweed will soon emerge.

Those are SO great. I love the little girls matching, and think you should do it for as long as they will let you!!
Great backpacks. They look so adorable on the girls' backs (I also love the ringlets in Eve's hair).
I can't wait to see you herringbone hat and tote- perfect for Fall, I'm sure.
I love these! I want to make one for me! I also really love the second photo with little naked, disgruntled Ruth in the background. very cute.
Great article, I like. Continued success
