I think this guy is so darn cute. If a big eyeball, crazy mouth, and ribbon hair is considered cute. :)

How to Make a Drawstring Backpack
This tutorial is for a soccer or sports bag for a child. It has a cinch top and the straps can be used as a backpack.

If you have an older child (with larger gear) or you want to fit more in the bag, you’ll have to size up accordingly.

Hemming Jeans Hack. DIY Tutorial
Being the short gal that I am, sometimes it’s hard to find a great pair of jeans that fit well in the length. A couple of years ago I found some awesome deals on Lucky jeans at Buckle in the mall, and they offered free alterations.
