Backpack Favors for the Birthday Party!

Aloha everyone,
It's been one hectic week since returning from my trip to Nevada.  I spent the entire week concentrating on making these backpacks that my daughter used as  party favors bags for her daughter's party.  It was  a small party just my grandchildren (8 of them) , my neighbor's little son, and a cousin of the birthday girl.  I just made nine bags since the newborn is well, newborn.  Though that would have been a sight to see her with a miniature one!
The theme for this party was "My Little Pony".  I couldn't find any fabric in her theme, so I thought I might look for it while on my trip.  Long story short---zippo.  But, this is what I came up with for the little girls.

What I did was photo copy a picture from a MLP storybook onto fabric to  create a pocket as the focal point of the bag.  The outer fabric is a pink star print that has a shimmer of glitter.  The lining and straps is a stripe. 
That's not all, for the oldest grandchild, I did a photo copy (again on fabric) of Justin Bieber for her bag.  I reversed her bag; stripes for the outer and shimmering pink for the lining.
Sorry for the blurry photo
But wait, there's more (sounds like, as seen on tv huh?).  The boys were the easiest, I just used fabric that had the "Cars" print as liner, pocket and straps, using a solid blue for the outer fabric.
The bags are about 12x10x2.5 inches, so there was plenty of room for the goodies planned for it.  
The party was a success, party girl was happy, mommy and daddy were happy, grammie was glad, but oh so tired.
Have a wonderful rest of the week, thanks for stopping by for a visit.
Aloha,
