Appliques: The frugal girls monogram

I have never been one to monogram anything.  I have a few monogrammed things the boys were given as gifts and they are cherished but I just cannot bring myself to pay to get something monogrammed.  Almost 2 years ago I got my first real sewing machine and my first order of business was learning the art of applique (that and not having to use the manual to thread the bobbin).  I am proud to report that both have been accomplished.

My most recent applique project involved the boys matching backpacks.  I used some old denim and am quite content with how they turned out.

The boys love them too and now know which backpack belongs to them!
