This past weekend, we had the fun of attending two birthday parties, each party for a sibling pair.  I decided to make drawstring bags for each child, personalized with their initial.

Saturday’s party was for A (a girl, age 3) and J (a boy, age 1).  I used my own method for constructing these bags but used the proportions of the original tutorial for J’s bag, because he’s so little!

A’s mother loves orange so I hope A actually gets to use her bag!  🙂

The back of her bag has a very fun duck:

On Sunday, we went to a party for two girls, K (age 8) and S (age 5).  I was K’s nanny when she was an infant (and I was in grad school) so it’s hard to believe she’s eight now!

K’s bag has two fun birds, one on each side!

Sadly, the solid purple photographed much darker than it actually is.

I loved making these drawstring backpacks and I hope A, J, K, and S have fun using them!
