I have been so busy settling Tony in and trying to get into a routine. We are not sleeping well at night so having a few naps during the day. Today was the first day we didn’t have to go to an appointment and no one was visiting.. I haven't sewn on the machine in about 10 weeks. So today was the day I decided to make a bag. I need a backpack for an upcoming trip so I have been searching YouTube. I found some amazing tutorials.
I only need a backpack that packs away small, fits a change of clothes or holds some shopping.
I cannot get out to shop for any extra items so I used what was on hand.
I had some small wooden rings. They were used instead of square buckles. I found this beautiful piece of striped linen. A great weight so I didn’t need to line it with anything. I didn’t want it padded or quilted.
It can be used as a bag or backpack.
It’s a great size, lightweight and I am so happy with it.
Have a look at this tutorial if you want to give it a go. It didn’t take long to make either.

Your new bag looks great. It's always satisfying to use up what you have tucked away.
Great useful bag/backpack you made with what was on hand.
Looks like a useful bag and if it is perfect for you then that is great! xx
Good looking bag. That should do the trick.
It will take a while to settle into all that is different now you are home. But it is great to see you having a little time to sew.
The backpack looks great and should be very useful.
Looks wonderful Jo, great you could get back to the sewing. Good to use what you have on hand. Hope the sleeping at night improves for you both.
Great bag Jo, glad you could get to the sewing machine after all this time, hope life will settle down for you both soon, Hello to Tony from us.
Good job. It will be so handy when travelling. It worked out well from supplies you already had.
That's a great looking bag. It must have felt good to spend some time with your sewing machine after so long.
