Loki Backpack and Scarf

It's not quite the 11th hour for holiday sewing, but we are getting close to it! Things have been so beyond crazy this month that I haven't gotten half of my to do list accomplished, but these were a must do! My vet's daughter loved the Doctor Who/Sherlock bag I made for her this summer that she commissioned more geek inspired sewing for Christmas! This time, it's Tom Hiddleston's Loki as the inspiration for a backpack. Initially I brought her a couple of sketches with ideas, one of which was based on the Stuttgart scarf, but in the end we ended up with an actual scarf, plus a drawstring backpack.

Overall, I'm pretty pleased with how these turned out. I found a Loki print for the backpack pocket, and a pre-printed fabric for the scarf on Spoonflower. The backpack is a black batik, lined with green Kona cotton, with gold cording for the drawstring and straps. I added fringe to the scarf fabric, and top stitched the ends closed.

Later, she also asked me to make something small for a friend of her daughter who loves Doctor Who, so I whipped up a key fob from a left over bit of the fabric from the Doctor Who pocket on the Wholock bag.

Now that these lovelies are done, I need to finish up some last minute gifts, and make some stockings for my own family. Talk about leaving things the last minute!
