School Time- Ethan's Stuff

My almost 20 month old (sniff, sniff) will be starting a Mother's Day Out program on Friday :) and he needed a few things- Lunch Bag, Diaper Bag and Nap Mat. Well, this sewing Mama wasn't going to go and *buy* any of that!
Lunch Bag. You think they will know who it belongs too?




I forgot to add a handle and I couldn't get him to hold it.



He loves his nap mat!!
I used this tut from Prudent Baby. Let me just tell you, if you make this nap mat, make sure to have extra straight pins and machine needles because you will bend many pins and break many needles! I think I broke 3? I made mine pretty thick because I wanted him to be comfortable for his naps. It may be the last mat I ever make him! He will just have to sleep with his legs curled for a few years :)


My hopes are that they will use his cloth diapers and not make me buy disposables so I made him a diaper bag and bought a great zippered wet bag from Sarah at Star Crossed Stitches. We go to meet the teachers today and I will ask them (beg) to use his very easy BGs!!

Wish us both luck for Friday! I'm sure he will be fine but I don't know what I'm going to do for 4 hours without him. I'll probably just sleep or sew.

School Time! - Lunch Bag


I am working on some projects for my son, Ethan. He is starting a Mother's Day Out program at the end of the month and needs a few things to get him started (lunch bag, nap mat, diaper bag). He will be taking his lunch and I want him to have a bag that I made. This lunch bag was my tester bag and it turned out pretty well!



The one for Ethan will be made out of the same fabric his nap mat is made out of plus it will have PUL inside so it will be easy to clean without washing the whole thing.


Now if I can only get my husband to carry a cloth bag instead of plastic......
