I finished the backpack for my son to take to Germany. He leaves tomorrow morning. I love making these backpacks, they last forever and are very roomy. The design is from EmbroideryDesigns.com.

Nice job. It is also nice that there will not be 50 others just like his.
He can be spotted very quickly which is another plus.

He is excited, his Dad is nervous, I am thinking the house will be very very quiet! What will I do without 3 or 4 teenagers coming in and out? Perhaps get some sewing done?

I took apart an old one and took the measurements from it. No pattern and I think I make them differently each time. I like to call it improvement but it is often just covering for a measurement mistake, I mean challenge. :)

He had to be at the airport at 4am this morning so at the very least, he should sleep a bit on the way over. Thank you.
