Sewing

Make sure the body of the bag fits around the circleon 1 end, take the circle and sew the body of the bag to it, do the same for the other end and 2nd cirlce.

Sew the straps on any way you'd like, just make sure they're even and the same height on both sides

My Son's Bookbag *Pattern*

My son love's the show "Go Diego, Go!"... It seems like he just watches it for Diego's rescue pack, his magical backpack that does any and everything (much like Dora the Explorer), so I decided to make him one. This is my own pattern, and my son loves it. His daycare teachers say he refuses to take it off throughout the day!!
Now that my son is older, I have an updated pattern for a bigger version of this bag here

Bows, Bows, Bows (*pattern*)

I think bows are a cute add to any accessory. Lately I've been seeing a lot of girls with them on headbands, and decided to try to make my own. They're super easy, really quick and absolutely adorable to wear!

More hair accessory patterns:

large hair bow

big bow head band

knotted headband

The pattern for the headband and bow are super duper easy...

Headband (pink and black stripped)

foundation single crochet (fsc) 48,

ch 1 and turn (if u want to change colors, do it then ch1) if unsure how to do fsc, click here for youtube tutorial

1 dc in each fsc across (48)

(switch back to main color)

ch 1, sc across and finish off

For the bow

hook g

ch 25

rnd 1: ch 2, hdc across (start in 3rd ch from hook)

rnd 2-4: continue to ch 2, hdc across. sew the back of strip together to form a cuff

Center of bow

ch 8

hdc across (start in 3rd ch from hook)

put around the bow and sew in the back to form the bow

For barrettes, you can get clips from any craft store. Just glue them on and let them dry over night! U can make the bigger or smaller by increasing or decreasing the number of chains you do in the beginning of the pattern.
