Back to School Bag

School is just around the corner and I had been promising Funky Princess a new school bag since last summer, but really dragged my feet to even cut out the pieces.  I just wasn't feeling the sewing vibe for a long time.  Finally I was inspired this summer and wanted to do something that was uniquely her.  Since her girl scout troop disbanded this spring we thought incorporating her uniform into her school bag would be a great way to personalize it just for her.  She hasn't seen the finished product yet, but she's seen it in pieces as I was working on it and was very excited about it.  I can't wait to show it to her tonight when she gets home from camp.

It's made from heavyweight denim, and a bottomweight cotton  for the lining.

This is such a cute idea! I think this would be so fun for any gal who has been in Scouts in the past. My daughter was in Brownies and Girl Scouts years ago, but thought this would be a really fun way to use all those colorful patches, rather than storing them away in a dusty old box. :)

Thanks, Bethany. She really loves it. She took it to camp one day with her and all the girls were asking where she got it.
