Ta Da-A Backpack!

I finally got to the store to get the hardware to finish the backpack!  It went together very nicely once I had the right accessories. 

 So, from this..........woven yardage of hand painted cotton yarn and gold perle cotton weft.

 ........... to this!   I am so pleased with the results!  It is almost enough to make me want to go on a hike!
(Actually, it is going to hold my knitting -you really didn't think I was going to take up hiking, did you?!)
                                                
  The lining is cotton fabric from my stash.  There are two inner pockets.  I used a backpack pattern from See & Sew B4583.  I could have woven the straps but I opted to go with nylon webbing this time.  I would definitely make another one-I would make more fabric this time but it was fun to squeeze the pieces to get them all cut out-you know, the thrill of it all!  My Gram would have been proud of me!
