Grey Owl Toddler Backpack


After I made this pink owl toddler backpack for my friend's daughter, I didn't think I would end up making another owl.  But strip away the pink and now we have a backpack that is versatile enough for Sarah's daughter to use and maybe later on for a boy.

As usual, my little helper was trying to be "like Mama" and snapped some pics with me.


Sarah went with double pockets


And yellow lining


Hoot hoot!


Playing some tunes on the piano


Toddler backpacks are available for sale as a custom order through my ETSY shop.

Happy Sewing,

This is what you end up with:


Time to use those markers!


The most fun is deciding what message you want to include


Household chores is my favourite :)


Here is Joshie playing with his little friend at the Art Gallery.



Enjoy!
