I needed a new back pack and wanted to work with some scraps and dived right in to make this new pack.
 |
| The new pack is fairly small (like the old one) because our work lockers are very narrow. (Pack is modeled by Stubs -- we got her at Christmas time.) |
 |
| The old Back Pack has been very useful (light weight and compact, perfect for biking) -- but it's fraying at the top area where the draw string pulls through. |
 |
| Here's the back. But I think I prefer the patchwork, so it could also be the front! |
 |
| I added pockets inside to accommodate sunglasses, reading glasses, cell phone, and keys. And there's still enough room for a lunch bag. I should sew a matching lunch bag! |
 |
| I ran down to Wal-Mart and got some eyelets, which were pretty easy to apply. Then went ahead and removed the cording from the old pack and inserted it to complete the back pack! |
There is just one small problem though.... my commuter bike is green!
 |
| Well it's as good a reason as any other to make another one! |
 |
| And I just remembered I have some fabric with bicycles on it! |

Hi Sheri! It really does look like Stained glass and I thought it was. Perhaps it would fade less quickly if you set it in front of a lamp instead of a a window? It is really beautiful!
I can't pattern test for you, but just wanted to say I loved it. Your bike bag is very clever too!
