Of course, there is also a pillow version featuring a VW bus! This pillow cover is also written for advanced crocheters, using the tapestry technique.

This unusual gift packaging for starting school isn’t really complicated, but it does take a bit of effort, so you should definitely have some crafting experience.



The backpack is made of photo cardstock and measures approx. 16.5 x 26 x 9 cm. You can easily adapt both the photo cardstock colors and the patterned paper to the taste of the child starting school.

Crochet yourself a new beach bag for this summer! The“Beach Life” beach bag is crocheted using the tapestry technique with double stitches. This makes it very sturdy, and it doesn’t stretch out as easily. It’s a lot of fun to crochet this bag and watch the pattern gradually take shape.


There is also a matching pattern for the “Beach Life” glasses case for your sunglasses. It is worked using the same technique and is a great choice if you’d like to practice this pattern first.

My new pattern is also a bit of a challenge and is therefore only recommended for experienced crafters: The packaging owes its unique look to a few elements that require somewhat tricky folding and quite elaborate decoration.



The school satchel is made of cardstock and measures approximately 21 x 21.5 x 10 cm. As always, you can choose different colors for both the school satchel itself and the flowers.

Uminari - a challenge for your fine motor skills, as you’ll be working with a very thin crochet hook here. In return, you’ll then be holding a delicate doily in your hands, or this ornament will be decorating your home.

The PDF file consists of 4 pages with written instructions and detailed photos.
