Sew Inspired, LLC - Sleepless Crafter

My 14-year-old daughter’s store-bought backpack was falling apart, so I had her pick out some fabric and a pattern. She chose Butterick 6072, view D. Pattern Description: Backpack D: Inside pockets, front and side pockets and contrast straps and loops. All views are lined. Pattern Sizing: One Size - 13”x10”x4” Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, for the most part. I altered it, so there are a few changes.

My 12-year-old daughter is very thin and very tall. She goes to a charter school so she has to wear uniform pants. I’ve bought uniform pants from several places (French Toast, Walmart, K-Mart, Children’s Place), only to find them all too short for her long legs. She has gone to school in the winter a few times with shorts on because she’d rather wear shorts than “high-water” pants. These pants are a good 4 inches too short. So I decided to make her some pants. She went through the pattern catalogs and chose McCall’s 6610 .
