Book Bag :)

Youngest Daughter :)

I found this really cool tutorial! If you click on the link and scroll down there's a video:

I'm not much of a purse person, but after making this one I think I'll start liking them. :)
I pretty much followed the tutorial except for a few things:
1. I added pockets. It's amazing how much more you can fit into a tiny purse when it has pockets!!!
2. Instead of a pre made handle I used this cool stuff that looks like an old zipper ... just to add to the zaniness. :)



We found the book at the Salvation Army for about a dollar or so. Good stuff! And of course I chose green fabric. Go figure.

The hardest part was definately gluing it all together. The very, very last step. Uggg! But I managed, so I guess you will too if you try this project! :)
