NOW FINISHED - Work in progress - backpack

The finished article. I am really pleased with it.



I started this Bank holiday Monday and so far the progress hasn't been too shabby.

I've done the front, including the pocket, the back, the zip part and one handle - and I changed my mind a few times about a few things.
The colours are closer to the picture of the front with the pocket on, it's really vibrant autumn colours.


The strippy bit is the pocket.



 For the top I drew out a foundation piece on grease proof paper with a ruler and pencil.

The inside of the pocket has cats and pretty much all of the panels are different, so it really is a patchwork backpack. I'm really pleased it.

    Great job on that backpack! You made it all up, not from a pattern? That's awesome! Looks super!

    Brilliant idea on the backpack. I love the combination of strips and sunburst on the backpack: they work so well together.
