Hubby thinks that the print on these bags look like crinoids.

I thought they looked more like nerve synapses.

The fabric is from – you guessed it – Ikea.  The pattern is the pleated_tote by artsy crafty babe.  Thanks so much!  There are interior pockets on one side and a key fob.  Each bag has a contrasting lining and pocket.  I should have taken some photos of the inside, I suppose!

Two are destined to be thank-you gifts for Miss Clare’s kinder teachers.  There are only another four weeks or so of kinder left!  The other is a Christmas present for a close friend – who luckily does not read this blog.

But we’re not sure which bag to give to which person!

We went to Miss Clare’s primary school today to try on and order uniforms for next year – she started prep orientation last week – I can’t quite believe that my little girl will be a schoolgirl so soon!  She looked so adorable in her uniform – and I felt very emotional.
