My sister graduated from high school yesterday! Congrats K! Last night, after the graduation bash, she proceeded to tell me that she needed a bag no bigger than an 8.5’’ X 11’’ piece of paper for their graduation activities this weekend. The rules are strict, and they won’t let a bag in bigger than that. Do you have any idea how SMALL that is? My sister is picky. She doesn’t like purses. She likes backpacks. So starting at 10:30 PM last night (WAY past my bedtime), I made her this bag.
The material was in my sister’s stash…perfect (and SO cute!) She needed an inside pocket, but since I didn’t have a zipper, I made it work with velcro (pictured below).
I used the cording from a “political campaign” bag that was too big and WAY too ugly to take to a graduation party.
The only thing I did wrong was forget to sew the bottom of the pocket! Oops…So this (my new favorite weapon) came to the rescue.

This glue is fabulous. You can wash stuff with the glue, and even put it in the dryer. LOVE IT. Perfect for attaching flowers, or fixing an “oops!” missed seam.
Anyways, the bag was super easy (I was just too tired and distracted by family to work fast). There are several tutorials online, but I pretty much whipped this one out on my own. If you want a tutorial, let me know!
Hope you have a fabulous day! It’s almost the weekend. :)
What a nice big sister! It turned out great, I'm sure she loved it! And that carseat canopy is adorable!
