Using a vintage tapestry and some pre-loved trousers to create an up-cycled backpack!
I had this amazingly abstract tapestry that I wanted to turn into a backpack. I used some 'leftover legs' from trousers and other funky vintage fabrics.
I used my own pattern to make this bag, which I am planning to make into a PDF with video tutorial pronto!
Thanks for watching!

Reworking someone's childhood bag into something she can wear as an adult!

I have recently been tasked with reworking this bag that Cait made with her grandmother as a child. I love the idea of recreating this bag into something that she can start to enjoy again now. I did hit a few snags along the way, but I'm happy with how the bag turned out in the end.

So please use these measurements and ignore anything I say that differs to these!)

    Hi Anna, I just wondered if you wouldn’t mind helping me with knowing what the best interfacing is to use just like most things there is so many different types and if you could recommend a good pair of scissors I’m looking to add to my Christmas list I saw the Kai 7000 which are probably fantastic but I nearly fainted at the price 😂 I didn’t even know scissors went up that high in price, I hope I don’t sound like a cheapskate 😅 just it leaves more money for fabric and patterns 😊 x

      @@shayj4312 hiya, I know what you mean, I have infact just bought a massive roll of interfacing that is a bit too thin but I think It’ll take me years to use! The one I was using before was quite heavy weight and it made fabrics a bit too papery. I would recommend a medium weight one. And probably buy in small quantities till you find a good one! 🫠 I would really recommend fiskars scissors, I had ones with an orange handle and they were great! X

I was using some medium weight for little hand embroidery projects but felt it made them too stiff so at least I know not to get that particular one 😂 although the fabric I have for the bag is quite light weight so maybe in this instance that will do, I guess it’s just time to give it a go and hope for the best 🤞 x
