Tom has always loved fish and anything to do with the sea. Helen has mentioned before that fish (or fsssssh) was one of his first words. If it lives under the water, Tom is a fan. So for his birthday I decided to make him this shark bag. I did ask Helen what he might need it for and so I went with a regular kids size back pack, to at least fit a pair of slippers or a school snack. The bag itself is canvas with fleece teeth and the tail is padded, just a bit.

The thing with pregnancy is how differently my mind works, especially at night, it seems to go into over drive. I don't know how many times in the past months I've woken up with some great craft idea. A lot of them recently have been about how to make a shark shaped bag ;)
