My Kindergarten Goods!

In Japan, many schools will ask parents to MAKE bags for kids to bring to school and there is a fix design and size to follow in every school (Design is basically same but sizes might differ). Some schools however, allow parents to buy from those ready made if parents are able to find similar sizes. Mummy thought of buying for me but then eventually, she made them! Since its cheaper, more personalised and its mummy`s hobby to MAKE things (eg knitting). But she has never really make bags before (sewing) so she decided to attend sewing classes HAHA. She managed to find a shop near out house which teaches sewing for free on the condition that you purchase the materials from their shop. So mummy signed up for the classes and these are what she made for me!

Bags making materials!

End Product: Left (Bag for Bento box) Right (Bag for PE-TShirts)

Mummy spent 3 whole hours making this 2 items! and almost 2 hours making the lesson bag below.

Lesson Bag (for books, crayons etc) FRONT

BACK (notice the pocket? it kind of camouflage inside hehe)
I LOVE them!

The lesson bag looks big on me huh? LOL. but this is the size indicated by the school.. or am i too small?? hehe

Mummy made all these by an electrical sewing machine (its the first time in her whole life to use one!) and now shes all addicted and thinking of buying one! LOL.

Actually Mummy wanted to buy me the above kitty set hehe. But it cost double of the amount that she had spent on the 3 items above and the item(shoe case) on the most right hand side is an item which is unnecessary for me (my kindergarten will provide one) so its kind of not worth it to pay double for 2 items and 1 unnecessary item so mummy decided to make! satisfy herself too since its something she enjoys doing hehe. But the kitty set above does look cute isnt it??? Mummy and me both love it lots!

Now.... Mummy has some cloth left over from this project and she has been thinking if she can make me some small items eg pencil case, tissue case, coin purse.... but do i need those??? LOL. think she is trying to satisfy her craving for her new found hobby! lol
