A little rucksack / swim bag for Mia D.

Just a quick one, whilst I remember!

My friend Lisa saw some fabric I posted on my SheWearsRedFeathers facebook page a while back. Fell in love. Asked me if I could make her eldest daughter, Ninja extraordinaire, a swim bag.

I sent her a few fabric options, and Mia chose the blue. Which is awesome, right?

I had a little time whilst awaiting hardware for another commission, so I sewed this up in the meantime. 

Modelled by Joey who is in Mia's year at school. He wasn't terribly happy about it but at least he stayed still. Noah just scarpered.

This is essentially just a drawstring rucksack, but I've boxed the bottom so it doesn't just sit flat.

Its also lined with PUL, making it it almost waterproof (I can't vouch for the seams but it should do its job)

Overall, a happy little project ( I didn't use a pattern as I made my own, which I may even post one day if I have the time to write it all out!)

In which I complete the ice cream sundae baguette bag, and make Joey a drawstring bag for his lego bits

So Joeys bag - easy enough - was meant to be a rucksack but I only had enough cord for one side LOL. There are two zippered pockets on the outside, but none on the inside.

 

This is the back (or the front) - much the same but the pocket is at the top

And this is ma boy sporting  his new sack for stuff!

I finally finished the Sundae Best bag (with the correct frame this time) It is asking for a strap, but I haven't got the time right now as I have several other projects in the pipeline. 

 

The bag is a bit flimsy for such a heavy frame (those baubles are solid - baby!) and crumples quite a bit, so next time I think I will need to find a denser interfacing (I'm pretty sure I used compressed fleece so its fairly stiff)
