Book bags!

Whitney's sewing craftiness inspired me to bust out my sewing machine too! Mom came over since there's no school today, and we spent the day making book bags for the boys for their library books. We first headed over to the fabric store for a pattern and to let the boys pick out fabrics (I exercised some veto power) and then headed home where Mom helped me do the rest. The bags are reversible with 6 pockets.

Max chose frogs with stripes. Pockets on the inside:Pockets on the outside:
Ben chose vintage airplanes and stripes.
