Another makeover project, and finished just in time for classes.
I needed a backpack for school, a tote or messenger bag wasn’t cutting it. I had this old one that was perfect in terms of pockets and other features, but it had seen better days. After a bit of sprucing up…
…It looked like this. I first washed it really well and cut of the mesh pockets on the front and sides. I never used them anyway. I also made a few repairs like re-stitching some seams and the like. Then came the fun part. I hand-stitched thin lace along all the zippers and pockets. Afterward I threaded some thin pink ribbon through the lace. I replaced the zipper pulls with more ribbon to finish. Now it’s pretty and functional again, ready for my first class. I wish I was too.
Here’s the updated list:
