    Love this backpack. I thought of something you could to make the base of the bag more sturdy and durable. Cut a piece of cardboard box to fit the inside bottom of the bag and cover it with something waterproof i.e. a piece of that jacket might do and then put studs on the outside on the bottom to give it a bit more wear.

    • @MiauMichigan
      @MiauMichigan 9 лет назад +14

      Rachel Bell great idea! you can also buy heavyweight fusible interfacing and aply it to your fabric before sewing. With this two things you would get a really sturdy backpack

    • @devonryan3687
      @devonryan3687 9 лет назад +22

      Rachel Bell Another thing is sometimes you can find a heavy weight place mat at thrift stores for like 25 cents. I've used the for giving bags a little structure before. They're nice, because they won't bend and crack like cardboard would over time.

    @lucstockdale 9 лет назад +13

    What would've been interesting is if you put a fabric lining in the interior of the bag of a separate patterned or colored fabric. It would make the bag more durable and protect what's inside more.

My roommates' oldest son was interested in this expensive backpack but of course none of us could afford it, and had asked me if it were possible of me to make it for him. I have the perfect sewing pattern in mind, but couldn't figure out how to afford the material that would be needed; now I do! Thank you!
