Sometimes I amaze even myself.
This is totally a self-aggrandizing post, but if you can't do that in LJ, where can you do it?
So, I wanted to make something special out of my Doctor Who bag before Comic-con. Seeing as I've made about eleventy billion tote bags, I wanted to go with something different. The idea of making a backpack is something I've toyed with for a while, but I could never find a pattern I liked (that was free) and so just never made one. As the time to leave for San Diego approached, I finally said "screw it, I don't need no stinkin pattern!" and I just went for it. It's not finished but the hard part is over, now it's just seams and bias tape. It wasn't until I got this far that I thought, "wow, I'm actually quite good at working with these bags" Also, I'm humble. Anyway.. this is my Doctor Who backpack so far:
Yes, that is a zippered pocket on the front.. I'm still rather amazed I pulled it off.
