Lyla started her first day of school this morning and of course in true fashion I was snapping photos all morning. She looked so cute and all grown up!
Here is a sketch of the backpack I decided to make her.
I decided to make the pencil part out of felt to cut cut down of having to sew seam. Here are all the pieces cut out before they were sewn together.
I used an old dress I got from a thrift store and wore once for a costume party. I Used the straps for the backpack straps, some of the material for the backpack lining and the zipper.
I designed it so that the pencil is actually a front pouch. Here is Lyla sporting her smart backpack at her new school. Eeek - It is so quite here this morning without her, what am I going to do with all my free time? maybe....Get stuff DONE!!!

That is a really cut idea. I liked the way you used stuff you already had.
