A few years ago I made animal backpacks to sell on etsy.
I recently packed up about half my fabric and found a half completed owl backpack.
Ellie has been borrowing RJ's boy backpacks in an attempt to pretend to be Dora, singing the backpack song, so I thought I'd finish the old etsy one up as a gift for her 2nd birthday.
The body is hot pink 32 wale corduroy lined in a yellow cotton blend.
The underside of the straps and ribbon hanger is in pastel pink.
A simple velcro closure makes it easy for a toddler.
The owl flap is a yellow and green paisley-ish floral and I used maroon for contrasting wing lines and beak.
More sewing from Ellie's birthday to come!
