One Week

Okay, so I've been planning on making the kids each a drawstring backpack using these fabric combos (which are fun and I love!) and I was thinking maybe I would try to finish them for Christmas. In a non-stressful, loosely-committed sort of way. Perhaps. Okay, I'm just going to sew the things and if the timing all works out then hooray. The tricky part is trying to sew them without getting caught, just in case I do get them all done in time for Christmas. Sewing anything while raising four kids is pretty much a miracle in and of itself, but sewing in secret, well, that's a Christmas miracle.

four backpack exteriors + linings, starting with the pair on the left, then so on and sew forth:


chicken scratchy plans:


And maybe some marker or notebook cases using these combos, which really don't have anything to do with the afore-mentioned combos, I just liked them:
