this wasn't in the plan |but life is still pretty good

Don't you just love alliteration?

For this week's edition of What I Made Wednesday, I've got these bookbags that I made for my boys to use as part of their gifts they will get when the baby is born (gifts "from" the new baby, more or less).  I will fill them with some new books and their big brother shirts.

I was inspired by this post at Diary of a Quilter (found via Design Mom), but I didn't follow her instructions at all. I had some curtains that I had made to use in an old apartment (and they don't fit any windows in our current house) so I just cut off a strip, folded, sewed up the sides, and added the strap.  No need to sew the white to the patterned fabric because they already were that way for the curtains. It was a big reminder to me that I actually do have a lot of "stuff" lying around that can be made in some great things.
