Two Stylish Back to School Patterns


Going back to school is an important time in every girl's life. We take them shopping for the perfect back to school outfit, their friends practice "hair dos" for the first day back, and of course, they want one of a kind accessories! It is such a fun time for them and also for us as mothers and grandmothers!

Today we share with you a few projects that your daughters/granddaughters can help you make - they could even invite friends over for an afternoon of sewing!

First is this super simple Cash and Carry Bag - it is perfect for an ID, credit card, cash, and the essential lip gloss every young girl must have! This project does involve a zipper and we assure you it is a piece of cake! Want your daughter/granddaughter to try their hand at applique or embroidery? This little bag has a small outside pocket where they could put their initials - a small, easy first project!





The second project we have for you today only takes one jelly roll! That's right - with one jelly roll you can make ALL five bags in the pattern! With all of the adorable, contemporary fabrics we have here at QBTB we are sure your girls will find just what they want!




We have seen many young girls in the store instantly gravitate to Odyssea, Santorini, and Gypsy Rose and there are many more on our website.




Now to win a charm pack...On this blog you will see that you can "follow" the blog...Click to follow our QBTB blog and then comment below this post on the blog itself to let us know you did - you will be automatically entered in the Charm Pack Giveaway!

Fun times,

I 'follow' using RSS :) And these bags are super cute! The zipper one might be good for a young lady who finds herself needing to bring some new 'essentials' to school in a discreet way... ~ Katy W.

Wow!! 5 bags from one jelly roll!! Awesome!! Just wish my "baby" was still school age but she has already flown from the nest. I already have the zipper bag pattern and the zipper installation is so simplified that even I can do it....and I absolutely hate zipper projects and usually avoid them like the plague!! Kathy assured me I could do it by the directions in the pattern and she was right!!
