inspired by... a roll-top backpack




my inky dinky version of this backpack. but i made it a little less neat and less perfect looking i guess

a 15 dollar, 6 hour backpack made from the best vinyl faux leather the fabric store had (%40 with membership, score!) and stolen straps from old backpacks and purses. my poor sewing machine took a beating trying to sew through 2 or 3 layers of thick vinyl. i think it doesnt really show well on the photos but you couldnt tell if the material was real or not, its nice and thick and matte actually. ps. theres navy blue cotton lining on the inside too. fun project!
