![]() ![]() Decide how big you want your satchel and do some cutting. You will also need thread, scissors, pins, and velcro if you choose to use it.Ģ. I got this fabulously fun and tacky fleece from the remnant bin at JoAnn’s. I used fleece because you don’t have to hem it if you are lazy like myself. (Although I am a fairly experienced seamstress compared to some of you, so be patient with yourself if it takes you longer!) Now let’s get started!ġ. This project took me less than thirty minutes. If you’ve completed Lesson #1 in Amber’s Learn to Sew Series then you are ready. But if you’re looking for something quick and easy for a kid or yourself then look no further. If you are looking to make yourself or others a beautiful and sturdy messenger bag then I suggest checking out Amber’s Messenger Bag Tutorial or her Reversible Messenger Bag Tutorial. My boy loves pirates, and I love that you don’t have to hem fleece if you don’t want to, so I knew it would come in handy eventually. Much to my delight, I found this fabulously fun and tacky pirate fleece I had grabbed when I spotted it in the remnant bin at JoAnn’s a month or two ago. He was quite distraught, and at that moment it occurred to me that it would be incredibly simple to just make him a “satchel” of his very own. He tried to stretch a normal bag over his head and shoulder like a messenger bag and it got stuck. But the poor little guy can’t seem to find a satchel! He carries that tiara in little bags, grocery bags, backpacks, and so on. Because she just happens to own three tiaras. Anyway, in his attempt to become Flynn Rider (who he clearly doesn’t understand is actually a bad guy at the beginning) he has become obsessed with having a “satchel” to carry around his precious crown, which, naturally, is a tiara that he found in his Aunt Laura’s former high school bedroom. Let’s be honest: that movie is all about Maximus. This week my boy has declared himself to be Flynn Rider from Tangled, which would make his daddy Maximus. He is always the hero, and his daddy is always the animal. Most of the time he is Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon, who trains the Night Fury Dragon, Toothless. ![]() Sometimes he is Prince Philip from Sleeping Beauty, who gets to ride Samson the horse and fight a dragon. He is three years old and his vivid imagination latches onto any cartoon character with an interesting animal and runs with that fantasy. If you can get past her Lesson #1 (Sewing in a STRAIGHT LINE!) then you can do this! Woohoo! Let’s get going! My cousin Amber is running a Learn to Sew series on her blog, Crazy Little Projects, so I wrote up this super simple sewing project tutorial for her blog last week. ![]()
