Down Under Quilts Kids Issue

Well this is a bit excit­ing!   Over the last six months or so I’ve been work­ing on a num­ber of behind the scenes pro­jects and this week I finally get to share one of them with you.   Right in the back of the Down Under Quilts Annu­al Kids Issue there’s a little pro­ject made by yours truly.

Down Under Quilts #175

This little Book­worm lib­rary bag was a last minute con­tri­bu­tion to the Kids Issue and is a very simple pro­ject to make.     The lib­rary bag pro­jects I’d seen around pre­vi­ously mostly had drawstring handles on them.  They were ador­able but my kids always found those drawstrings a little tricky so I designed this lib­rary bag to have a soft handle and a hook and loop fasten­er which, I think, makes it much easi­er for small people to carry and open.

She’s a happy look­ing book­worm isn’t she!

If you’re out and about it’s worth pick­ing up a copy of this magazine there are so many great quilts and pro­jects in it includ­ing the stun­ning star quilt by Jeanette Bruce of Gone Aus­sie Quilt­ing which is shown on the cov­er and, a super fun Ring a Rosy quilt by one of my fel­low Farm­er­’s Wife 1930’s Sampler Sewalong blog­gers Alyce Blyth of Blos­som Heart Quilts just to name a few.

  1. Con­grat­u­la­tions Peta, such a cute and prac­tic­al design. I think this gor­geous book­bag would turn any little per­son into a happy bookworm!!

  2. Per­fect for my little grand­boys on their long car ride this Sum­mer! I’ll use bugs and pir­ate fabrics.

  3. This is so ador­able!!! I have 3 grand-daugh­ters that would LOVE this book bag. Is this magazine avail­able as a down­load? I live in the US, searched the web to pur­chase the magazine, no res­ults. Could you please advise me how to get the pattern/tutorial?
    Thank you,
    Chris Smith

  4. Hi there,

    Gor­geous pat­tern! I’ve pur­chased a copy of the magazine. I’m want­ing to make it as a Christ­mas gift and just won­der­ing what the require­ments are, so I can get them organ­ised while I wait for my magazine to come in the mail.

    Thanks,

    Michelle

  5. Hi Peta. Just won­der­ing if there is any­where else to find this pat­tern, as it has been a few more years and it seems the link does not work.
