YUCK. I totally see the reasoning behind these, it makes it much easier for the teacher to locate the needed item in the shortest amount of time. I am all about helping a teacher out, they have one of the toughest jobs in the world as it is! They certainly don't need having to rummage around inside a dark satchel to find a sippy cup adding to their chore list. But they are dull. And boring. And, well, just plain un-fun.
But you know what happens around here if you sit still long enough...
There. Much better. However, it was not as easy to figure out as it seems. Because of the stitch count (the number of times the needle has to go in and out of the item being embroidered) are around an applique, if you try and applique directly onto the plastic backpack it perforates it so many times that it essentially just cuts a hole in it and the patch falls through. But, if you do the applique on a piece of stabilizer and then sew it directly onto the backpack it works like a charm! So, I used a seam ripper to remove the little rubber patch that was already on the pack and started sewing! Now the teacher will be able to know which pack is theirs (everyone in the class will have one of these)be able to see inside their packs and their momma will be happy because they are just so darn cute. (Just like the little boys carrying them!)
Let me know if you would like to place an order! Thanks for stopping by!
