For the past couple of weeks, I've been doing a small sewing project each Friday. First, I made some pajama bottoms, which I probably won't post until I make the top. (I have been wearing them - with a t-shirt though!!) Last week I got out my new Simple Sewing book and practiced my skills on a Simple Tote out of some (dorky) fabric scraps I had lying around. And this morning, I took the book out again and whipped up this little backpack.
You can't really tell from the picture, but I split the pocket into three compartments. One for knitting needles, perhaps?? Well, only if I could be sure they wouldn't fall out!!

I like seeing the sewing stuff, since I intend to get into it soon. Very inspiring.
Cute bag! I like that fabric. I've been thinking about pulling out the old sewing machine.
Cute! I posted my ipod and transmitter pic for you!
That's very cute!
How cool! I really want to teach myself to sew... that will make a great knitting bag! Fun fabric too!

So cute! The sewing machine, to this day, freaks me out. I'll stick to my larger-and-less-pointy needles, thanks. :)
Very cute! I've been wanting to learn to sew but we just don't have the space. When we add on to the cottage, there will absolutely be a craft room!
Cool! I'm glad I'm not the only one sewing.
Well, I love it! too cute!
You are amazing! The backpack looks just fabulous!
I love the fabric combo and colors! What a great backpack that must be.
So, so cute! You're really becoming a whiz on the machine! Isn't the instant gratification great?
Awesome bag! Perfect for carrying knitterly projects. ;)
