Thank you Kay, I enjoy taking them, when I can get her still. When I was little I used to be asked if I had ' ants in my pants', so I guess she does too!-lol

Thank you, I am truly grateful for my family. She will, most likely be, the last grandchild born to us. We don't want her spoiled but can't help but love her!

My son-in-law is the amazing one! He turned my 'didn't know what to do with it' into a cute backpack for the little ones! Great idea he had!
21543Your little sweetie is absolutely adorable! OMGoodness. she makes that camo bag look fantastic! Of course, seeing her cute little face would have to make anything look great! You must be the best Grandmommie. Always thinking of super ways to make your kids happy and making them the absolute best stuff. I hope that your kids appreciate it. Too many kids without a Grandparent that would do so much for them. Bless you!

Thank you Nancy. She is most likely, our last grandchild to be born. We haven't started with the great-grandchildren, although our oldest g-son married last year. With ten, I do seem to stay busy!-lol

Thank you and thanks to my SIL for the idea. She may be a 'Cutie Model' now, but I am hoping she will be a future Cutie. I do believe she loves fabrics like I do!
9752Great idea. Looks wonderful. Lyn

Thanks Arlene and I really needed her to see if it would look good on her back, before I added the straps. She was perfect for the fit.
10909Looks good, not a disaster after all, great idea, waste not, want not, everything has it's uses!
683129723Look at that sweet face! I'm guessing this "backpack" save is going home with Miss Nora.

Actually, she chose a pirate fabric (lol), but I don't know. I will make it and a pink girly print, then let her choose. I told her Papa, I don't know if she liked the blue background or the shark on the pirate print. She opens my drawers and picked out fabrics saying,"Nora's dress". I told my hubby she likes fabrics as much as me!!!!

Thank you, she does look so cute modeling. Usually, you can't get her still, but look how she is posing, with her little foot out.

It was a good idea, wasn't it, and much nicer as a back back, than a too wide toiletry bag. He is a good SIL.
299557Aren't we lucky to have such sweet son-in-laws?? The backpack is perfect and so is little Nora - you must just want to hug her all the time!! Well done!

95364Awesome Toogie :)....adorable Nora with a very cute boxie bag!
Well done execution with all the details of adding a belt to hold and those belts to hang....they seem to be adjustable as well :) love it!
Would you be sweet enough to share the size of cloth you started with and the size of the finished bag!

I don't mind telling you what I started with, but because it was a mistake in cutting, I really don't know. The FINISHED bag measures 12 3/4inch across the zipper edge and 12 inches from center top zipper to bottom seam. The top handle I added, finished at 8 1/2 inches. I sewed it in, when I boxed the corners at the top. The straps for the arms, I used the 45 inch width of fabric X 3inches, and after making I cut in half.I put about 3/4" cutaway in the center of straps. She tell you to make the tabs 2x3 but I cut mine 3x4, 4 being the finished length before folding in half. I just thought it would give you a little more, to grip, when opening....Now that I made this awesome mistake, I want to make her a girly bag, for her Tag, dol or Pj's...IF I can get this one away from her-lol
