A little organization would probably help. Your bags are beautiful. The piecing and quilting are wonderful, especialy the one on the left, and the colors of the one on the right are so vivid. Definitely put them back in service. Perhaps adding a removable stiffened insert/organizer to keep them in shape would help you like them better. You could make one the shape of the bag, with sides, that slipped inside and gave it structure. With summer coming, I'd definitely use the red bag - how cheerful!The Calico Quilterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01772374749065425388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-63585740197616509322009-03-17T21:30:00.000+09:002009-03-17T21:30:00.000+09:00Those are such beautiful bags!

I'd probably try to throw everything into one big bag.

Thank you for sharing this very interesting perspective of Japanese tradition and culture in relation to children in elementary school.

I just had to make one bag for my children when they went to school, a bag for PE kit. My eldest son (now 27) still has his - a drawstring bag with his name appliqued in felt - and uses it all the time for carrying rolls of electrical tape.Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00459871513482076398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-74941521900940791972009-03-16T11:31:00.000+09:002009-03-16T11:31:00.000+09:00Tanya, I just so love your Blog...your bringing th...Tanya, I just so love your Blog...your bringing the Japanese Culture to me. It never fails to amaze me how I would or would not fit in with the culture. Now here I would have. I love sewing and I love making things for my kids. Of course they are too big now, but when they were small they were so happy to have me make items for them.
