Little Man started preschool this spring...big event for us all! I had wanted to make him a nice backpack, but was unable to find a suitable pattern...a few months later I found this pattern for $6, and using some robot-based fabric I picked up here and there, I adjusted the pattern to create a bag for the school-boy. Good news is, everyone likes it, and no-one has given me a hard time about him taking a home-made robot-backpack to school...though the big guys haven't put in any orders for their own, ah well...guess it's not cool enough for a 15 y/o.
The main fabric is canvas weight and
I appliqued a funky robot to the front pocket, with metal button eyes...
It's a good size to hold his towel, shirt change, attendance book, tissue and a few other things...
I combined fabric with handle cord for the straps, and learned how to make an adjustable strap...
Inside is lined with a lighter cotton (robot) fabric...
And he's ready for school!
Professional!!! It's beautiful, Erinn! I love it, and it looks like Little Man does, too.
