Backpack Purse - My weekend project |
I have planned my commute so that I walk though the city each day. This choice allows me to people watch, interact with humanity and saves me a gym membership!
The only down side is that I REALLY need a hands-free purse. I frequently walk while carrying an umbrella or coffee or any random thing you can think of.
About 5 years ago I ran into a pattern for a hideous quilted backpack. It was the right idea with the wrong fabric.
OBVIOUSLY I needed to make adjustments!
This weekend I sat down at my sewing machine and created a bag that works for me. Here it is!

There are still adjustments I want to make, but so far I'm happy with the finished product!
