Sarah’s Backpack Is Finished

After that zipper pull came off, I had a date with my good friend, the seam ripper, to take it out and start over. By the time I got the zipper ripped out, I was O.V.E.R. sewing for a bit. While I love to sew, I really hate taking out stitches. Bleh!

Today was my day off, so I sat down at the sewing machine and finished up the backpack. It turned out really cute. I know Sarah is going to love it! I posted pictures of different fabrics on Facebook, and she picked the ones she wanted. I also gave her a choice of patches for the front, and she chose the Grand Canyon one. It does go with the colors very well.

It has a large zippered pocket on the outside so Sarah can take lots of her things with her.

Lots of pockets on the inside too!

It has lots of pockets on the inside too, big enough to hold a sketch pad, and some pens and pencils, and maybe a cellphone, but I don’t think her Mom lets her have one yet.

The Grand Canyon embroidered patch on the front.

Fabgrandpa modeled it for me. You know he loves his granddaughter to do this:

And here he is again:

Aw, What a guy!

What a guy! Isn’t he just the cutest? The backpack has adjustable straps, and a loop at the top. It is not a hard item to make, just have to be careful of those zippers!

A handy loop on the top.

And theย  adjustable straps:

And of course, it has a FabGrandma label in it:

I’m going to do my best to get this in the mail to Sarah tomorrow. If you want one, just contact me here, and we can discuss what color fabrics you want. This backpack sells for $45 plus shipping.

    Looks fabulous Fabgrandma, you are so clever at this sort of stuff. I feel sorry for my grandson, I will never make him anything like that but Bill made him a buggy with blocks so he makes up for my lack of skills.

    Another great job, Hi Karen, I have been so busy and not around. This is what my summer is like, I lurk once and awhile just to let you know i’m still out and about some days. FabGrampa looks like he enjoys posing for pictures with backpacks, great fun. Sarah will love her backpack you are a talented lady.

    I’m so impressed! A backpack is a really difficult piece of sewing, and this one looks perfect!
