Hello Cuties! My niece I travel with, gave me this little Thomas train set for Gus, as her grandson is too old now to play with it. I had this railway fabric in my stash, so I decided to make Gus a small backpack and put his pieces in it. Maybe it will encourage mom to let him take all the pieces home-lol-Gus' dad works with trains so I embroidered this design and rails for the front pocket. I was disappointed in the stitch out, but it is what it is... I did not have a backpack pattern, but after reading a few tuts, I figured I could make one as he is 4 years old and I wanted a small one. I could have made it even smaller but he will be able to get more in.-lol-Hope you like it. I don't know when he will get it, as we are still self quarantined. Have a good day Cuties. Stay home-stay well-Toogie

I get out in the yard and watch and hope that the squirrels don't get the only two tomatoes in my garden so far.
Thanks for looking at Gus' backpack!

Some pieces I did. One of our other nieces works for the newspaper. A year ago I was able to purchase a partial roll of paper for $5. if I remember correctly. It has a huge amount of paper left on it, so I use it sometimes to draw a pattern. Of course my other 'tool' for rounding corners is a tin can lid, plate, bowl, etc-lol-

Did you need the measurements?

I would have to let them know I'm coming or the outside dogs would chew it up! ...I told my husband the other day if he wanted to just 'get out' we could go ride and not really go anywhere or stop anywhere. He thought that was pointless. We did have to do our banking yesterday for this month, as I still had his last months check un-cashed or deposited. Mine is direct deposit. I deposited yesterday and gone today for house insurance. The saying, 'Here today, gone tomorrow', is so true.

I just hope I have enough strap for him to adjust. I think I do but maybe we will see before he out grows it.-lol-We always had to have so many bags for Avery but this one is made just for him. Thanks!

I should have sewn my zipper closer joining to the bottom gusset. I was afraid I had not allowed enough length, but as it turned out, I had exactly enough. I could have sewn it closer, had I been sure, but I wasn't ripping it out. -Not as fancy as yours but thanks!

The fabric was marked down when I got it so the attachments probably cost me more, but again, they’re in my stash!!! Thanks
