Tutorial Two Zip A Bag posts mere days apart - what is this unorthodox unprocrastination??? I say we run with it while it lasts. This is one of my absolute favorite bags of this series because it's a serial shapeshifter. It has so many looks - from the classic trapezoidal tote which can be carried underarm, granny-purse style, or slouch-bag style suspended from the zipper ends with either one or both carrying straps.
Shape Learning Manipulatives I came up with this idea years ago when Emma, my oldest was 2 and starting to learn her shapes. Children learn easier when they have something to hold, identify, and play with. So, I decided to make large shapes that had faces and names on them. I got the idea for faces from an educational clip art book that I need to give credit to, which was Carson-Dellosa. Patterns Alright, so they're more popularly known as messenger bags but I grew up calling them satchels. Unlike traditional satchels, however, these aren't leather. They also have no buckles because I was mass-producing them for kids - I wanted to save time and wasn't convinced that kids were going to actually use the buckles. There is absolutely nothing original or creative about the basic design of satchels. Everyone is making them. They're rectangular pouches with narrow gussets and a flap that overhangs the front.

Boots Some of you asked how I made the girls' musketeer boots, so this is the how-to post. They are actual boots, not boot-covers, and they were made to fit each girl. I began by tracing around their feet to make the sole pattern. I also used my old ballet slipper patterns, much adjusted in both shape and size, because my kids' feet have since grown, for the vamps. Here is a paper muslin.
