A new school year means new books, new classes, new notebooks...and a new backpack!

Thus, I reupholstered my old backpack using an old pair of jeans & my grandma's handkerchiefs.

It took about 9 hours collectively to hand sew the material onto the backpack. Note to self: learn how to use a sewing machine. I now understand why handcrafted items are redic expensive...you need that money to treat the inevitable carpal tunnel that you'll get for not knowing how to use a sewing machine.
