When I have to take all three kiddos out and about I’m always stuffing things into a catch-all bag and running out the door. I throw in some pads of paper and a bag of colored pencils for the times we have to wait when we are out. I end up carrying a very heavy bag because it also contains a snack or two and probably a few water bottles.
I kept thinking about making these handy bags that were just their size and a possible pencil roll with individual slots for their pencils.
I managed to carve out some time in the sewing room and came up with this design. A simple rectangle perfect for a coloring book or two with short handles, pockets one side for stickers and crayon/marker slots on the other side.
Now, they can carry their own bag and have something to keep their little hands and minds busy.
They are adorable Nancy! Hmmm, you might have inspired me to pull out the sewing machine.
so cute!!!
gee, this kind of puts our ancient star wars backpack to shame … ;^)

Those are so great! Why didn’t I pay attention when my grandmother tried to teach me how to sew????
But really, they are very adorable. I love the individual crayon/pencil pockets.
Thanks for the love!
I am working on my very first tutorial/pattern for these bags. As soon as I can draw up some illustrations, it will be ready and you all can make your own!
Nancy,
These are so cute. Thanks for the great ideas!
