As promised, here are the photos of Austy's new tote. It's taller than I was going to make it as I didn't want to chop asny cats heads off in the lining fabric and wanted to be sure the handle stitching stayed well clear of the applique on the back. I originally planned a bordered panel of the three pictures on the back but couldn't find a fabric that would not detract from the illustrations and went with each one, so instead decided on this placement, directly on the denim.
It works as a childcare bag during the week, fitting a couple of disposables (home nappies) in the pocket, spare clothes in the main and milk sippy cup in the front pocket, and then on weekends works beautifully as a toy tote, holding a couple of cloth nappies and wipes in the bottom, and that internal pocket holds two Linley Dodd books just perfectly.
Here's a detail shot of the internal pocket.

It's beautiful! I want one!!!!! I love how you've included all the pictures onto the bag and also included a cat on the inside pocket. So cute!
So glad the printing worked out for you.
Joy that is absolutely fantastic.
The bag is fantastic. Austy should be very proud of his bag as her carries it (and his clever mum who made it).
Joy that is just gorgeous, you've done a fantastic job!
