Drawstring Backpacks

I reeeeaaalllly want to make Jay one of these! And soon! Jay is so into carrying things around with him right now and feeling like an independent big boy. So here are some tutorials
This one from Mama Urchin
And these from Noodlehead And this from Momtastic and my sister-in-law Julie
*******Added later*******
I made one!
And I was so excited about it, and really wanted to finish it before we went on a family outing last saturday, that I didnt stop to work out the kinks on my often frustrating machine.
Hence the bad stitching on the J...
Oh well. That's how I work: just get it done; I'm not one for perfection.
I will do better next time, cuz I know there will be a next time!
Thanks for the idea and tutorial Julie!

These are adorable but I really just love the flower on them. Gotta figure out how to do it; it can't be that hard!
