This bag belongs to little Miss Diva, it's a new school bag from the McCalls 6410 pattern range. I followed view A only cause the trend at the moment is this type of bag. It's size is 36cm by 28cm. No Zippers. I used a Pink Butterfly cotton i found in the quilters corner of spotlight, The bag is fully lined with Hot Pink Cotton and has a inside pocket. Is has a meduim weight interfacing and i used sew in fleece cause i couldn't afford the fusible one, but it turned out. There are two pockets on the front held together closed with velcro. The front has four white D rings but i would be interested in using the same sort that are found on bags. The strap is one lenght which is hard cause you can't adjust it to your height, will be looking at ways to work around that, I will be making this bag again she would like a blue one. It's a great size it's fits a couple of A4 books plus her lunch and a hat.
I was thinking to help summer along I would make Pretty Princess a dress. I used McCalls 5836 version F. The dress is made out of checked purple and white, with little bumble bees all over cotton.There are no zips, it's a pull over the head which at the age of three is all pretty princess can handle. Close fitting, lined bodice dress with pleated skirt, shoulder straps with gathers, ruffles and are mid-knee length;. I made a size four which is pretty much what she is in normal clothes, but there is still room for a growing princess to last to the end of summer. And by chance she wore it today to kindergym and they were selling doll clothes. It was fate cause the ladie had made overalls in the same material but blue. So without a second thought (which often gets me into trouble) i brought it for her baby.
