I’ve been making this book bag for several months now, on and off. It was a request from my parents, to make them a nice sturdy bag that they could use to carry a little pile of hardbacks home from the library.
This is actually bag number two, as I somehow managed to get myself a bit confused with the measurements of the first one. For reasons I’m not quite clear on, it came out wide instead of tall. (No, I didn’t sew the pieces together the wrong way round. Honest.)
Thankfully I had enough fabric left over to make this second bag… and there’s still a piece big enough to make bag number three, just in case I’ve accidentally done something daft with this one as well!
