Ryan's Library Bag for preschool





still in shock that my boy has started preschool (and that he loves it so much!). even though i checked the list the week before it started i'm positive a library bag wasn't mentioned on it so i didn't have one organised when the note came home on wednesday saying that IF they had a library bag on friday they'd be allowed to borrow a book (if not, too bad so sad!!)

i work weds & thurs so no chance of making a bag on those nights, i am exhausted.

so i made it today. i used this blog tutorial for inspiration and a search on eb to get the idea and dimensions etc.

i totally stuffed it up but love it anyway LOL i haven't been feeling well today (dizzy & nauseous) so was having trouble concentrating. it was suppose to be blue on the outside and green on the inside, with the handle sewed into the seams hehe

i handstitched ryan's name on the label, and did the button more for practice for him than practicality.

Hey it's got BTB on it, so I bet he loves it! It turned out great. I think you're being a bit hard on yourself there! Glad to hear he loves preschool.

Its awesome Karen!
You have inspired me to make my own son a library bag, instead of just sending him with a calico shopping bag (hey, it has homer simpson on it!). So watch out, this non sewer is about to stitch up a storm.

thanks guys!

teri, our kids LOVE their books and going to the library, which is a good thing given we must have about 200 of them now LOL and that's just for the kids! (garage sale addicts ;))
