So...I'm back again with one last backpack. As I've mentioned the other day, I was going to make another bag, this time, for an adult. I am actually giving this to my soon-to-be 22 years old niece for her birthday in March. I noticed she was more into fabric drawstring and/or tote bags than leather bags so I thought this would be a perfect present for her 😄.
The fabric is again a Japanese cotton duck. The skulls are actually shiny, metallic gold in person. When I first saw this fabric at Spotlight, I knew straightaway that this would make a great bag for my niece.
The lining is again a pre-quilted fabric, this time in black.
Unfortunately, I made a mistake in cutting the fabric pieces for the side pockets, so instead of them being elasticized, I had to make do with simple slip pockets ðŸ˜. They're alright, I guess, but I was a little disappointed nonetheless.
I ran out of polyester webbing so I just made the fabric straps. They turned out well and coordinated with the black plastic sliders.
I am so pleased with the three backpacks that I made and I certainly loved the time I spent sewing them, even it meant late nights for me! I probably will pack up my sewing machine for now (or if I can be bothered, I might just make small zippered bags and/or wristlets out of the excess fabrics before doing so!).
Ok, so now for some news on the printed book. I recently ordered three more softcover copies from Blurb as they were discounted again. I have now listed them on my Etsy shop. The price is still much lower than the selling price over at Blurb but higher than the first time I listed printed books on Etsy because my price depends on how much I got them for (meaning how much discount I received). If you are interested in purchasing a copy, you can do so here.
Have a good week!
