A New Designer On The Block


This is the drawing that I received from my Granddaughter Lucy. She is 6 years old and already has her own particular taste. She currently has a forest green backpack and it is loaded with books. She decided that since I have always made clothes for her that are special, maybe I would make a backpack for her.
This is going to be a messenger bag. The blue fabric is a Microfiber and the chartreuse is a "Chinese Brocade" synthetic fiber. It should cut the initial weight down considerably. The yellow design is a crown that she wants on the front flap. I said "we'll see". My mother used that expression when there was chance that it was "no". But I will give it my best shot.
I really approve of the choices. She is a great little girl.

A budding designer! I have no doubt she will love it. I like the fabrics she's chosen.

Oh I see now...
she wants three pockets on the outside, two pockets on the inside and a crown on the front.
I love it when someone knows exactly what she wants!

Thank you Patrice, I now see her design instructions too. I also like her choice of fabrics...it will be wonderful! Reminds me of some of my little girl plans...I treasure them now after all these years.

What an honor! I think she has very nice taste, and I do think she is bound for some unique and flourishing design career.
