Prepare for take off
I managed to get one kiddy travel bag sewn up ready to go for this weekend (using the Lotta Jansdotter backpack pattern from Simple Sewing).
Mark is already plotting how many books he can stuff into it for the trip and is very pleased that I've embroidered the directions to the hotel onto the map.
I've been arming him with some handy French phrases, but he seemed a bit worried and eventually asked "Mummy, when it's just the four of us, would it be okay if we spoke some English?".
No child - it's French or silence - mwahahahaha.

oooooo... pretty bag. pretty, pretty.
is it bad to call a boy's bag "pretty"?
My kids are very concerned about moving to New York because they think everybody speaks French there. I've had to tell them (several times now) that we speak it in my family but NYC is definitely part of the United States and the language there is English.
LOVE the bag!
The back pack is brilliant - I love the fabrics you used. Noah wants a back pack and I offered to make one for him - he said no?! Shop bought all the way for him I'm afraid.
It's beautiful.
love the embroidery, i wouldn't have thought of that and it's a great touch!
(ps i nominated you for something today...)

I love the bag, and the directions are just too cute!
Ooh la la, c'est français bien sur!
Have a great trip!
They'll be the envy of all the other little travellers ...
