Backpack, Backpack

So here's Big C's new backpack I made for him for preschool. I used this pattern.

I got this adorable fabric from Bolt.

This was my first time sewing with piping... and I loved it. I love the finished look it gives. This was also my first time sewing with webbed straps.

The pattern doesn't have an outside pocket, but I added one... and used this cute button to close it up.

And this pattern makes it super easy to make your zipper look great! Hoorah, success with a zipper!

But the best part was trying it on for size.

Look at that cute big boy!

and another angle... 'cause he's so cute:

And from the back:

Yay! I love it. He's all ready for school that starts next Tuesday!
