Valentino, my youngest grandchild so far, had his first day in school today. Made him an embroidered "Schultüte". As he is half-italian and loves race sports like his father he wanted a race car and add-ons. Lot of work and not quite sure where I got the designs from but worth the work. He loved it and we had a nice celebration. Inside the school bag are sweets and useful things for school - old German tradition

I love this! What are the dimensions? Can you share a pattern for this or point me to one?? Great work!!

That is really cool! Excellent combos.

Super tradition. He will treasure it forever. You did a grand job on it.

you did a terrific job on this, both are cuties ~hugs~

What a cool tradition. His "Schultute looks as big as he is.LOL
You're an extra special grandmother.

Looks great. I think he will treasure this a long time.

Great work!!!Beautiful

what a lovely tradition, it looks fantastic

Worth every minute you spent..Congratulations on a great gift and well done job..Love it.

You made a unique bag/pillow. He must be so happy with it!

This is a happy item, to make their first day extra special. You have done an outstanding job, with the making of this and the embroidery.

This is fantastic, well done. Love Chris

Oh Super, das ist für Dein Enkelkind sicher ein unvergesslicher Tag gewesen und Du hast durch diese tolle Schultüte mit dazu beigetragen. Ein einmaliges Geschenk zur Einschulung. :-)

Vielen Dank! Meine Tochter hat gesagt, bestickte Schultüten seien jetzt total modern und
würden mit Preisen ab 50 Euro ge- bzw. verkauft. Hat aber auch Erinnerungswert, denn man kann sie anschließend als Kissen weiterverwenden :-)

Oh you are such a great Grammie ****the boys look happy hugs
