Hi Cuties, I’ve finished the 8 backpacks with this one. So what I’ve decided to do is give the Aqua one to my daughter Dana.
Then for Christmas the backpacks will be - Pink to Jasana, Purple/Aqua to Aqualina, Soft Blue to Ophelie, Yellow to Delphi, Red and Blue to Chase, Orange to Cohen and I will keep the plain blue one for the time being.
So tomorrow I’ll start a Blue with Aqua darker one for Cooper. He originally asked for Aqua, but it was too feminine for him. Thankfully my order of ‘D’ rings arrived yesterday so I’m set. Just to let you know I made a mistake putting on the strap on the right hand side I’ve twisted it!!! So I’ll unpick the top where it’s attached to the ‘D’ ring and re-sew it. Love Chris

This is perfect for Chase. It reminds me of racing-lol my grandson rates cars. They are so swell 🥰 it makes me wish again for a bigger machine. It design is excellent, too. The kids will all be thrilled come Christmas.

Thanks Toogie, I can just imagine his little face when he sees it. He's a mad Spiderman fan and these colours will go well, plus it's the colour of our local Newcastle Rugby team. The team is called The Knights! Love Chris

Hi Patti, yes, I can do them so well now. I still did that strap backwards though, so I still make mistakes. I've just resewn it and am happy now. I am going to get some sliders for Jasana's as I don't have any more left!!! I will have to wait till Spotlight gets some more in. Love Chris

Chris, I was on Sweetpea and there are NONE any prettier than yours. I was thinking you need to submit all you've done, to have them showcased there! I also saw the price of the designs. WOW! no reason you have to make so many to justify the cost. I could only make the 5x7 size so I don't think I'll be making any. Seriously, show SweetPea yours, they are gorgeous!

Hi Toogie, I have put up mine each time I’ve made one on Sweetpea.. If you type in my name you will see mine. The nicest ones are by Darina Foots. She’s done 21!!! Thanks for the accolades. Love Chris
