I finally got my back pack finished. It's rather reminiscent of a quilted dressing I had as a child, which has rather put me off it LOL! It used quite a lot of fabric and this floral print probably wouldn't have been my first choice, but it was the only one that I had enough of and as it was my first time of making one I didn't want to buy more fabric in case I made a pig's ear of it. It's lined in the gingham fabric and has padded shoulder straps. It has three pockets inside and the patch pocket on the front.It was also larger than I expected, but was ideal when I went on my first workshop on Saturday (I will show you what I made later in the week when I get around to photographing it) But it had rather too much hand sewing, bias binding is now a dirty word in our house!!
Hope you all have a lovely day and I'm looking forward to enjoying browsing your blogs later.
Take care and Happy Crafting xx

Hi Paula, wow you have done it again with your sewing prowess! This is just exceptional and must have been the envy of the workshop you went to. I know what you mean about bias binding it can be a real pain when you can't get to sew it on the macine, well worth the effort in this case. Julia x X X
Great job Paula. Just love this idea of a floral backpack.
