My cooper backpack (variation 2) from Colette Patterns made of canvas (i think?) and synthetic leather.
I'm currently visiting my grandma in Taiwan and had fun hunting down the hardware and using her old iron, machine, and mallet to make this bag. I also loved not having to make a muslin for fit! Hooray!
An easy make, but take note if you are not using a flat slider - the instructions don't account for it. My slider had an obvious right/wrong side and I had to do a bit of guessing and playing around so that the slider would face the correct side. I also found it difficult to use an awl to create holes for the rivets. It was much easier to use a tiny punch and punch out the spots instead. The rivets slid in easily and I didn't have to fight to get them in. I wish this bag had some zippers, especially for the main part, but it still holds things nicely. It's just me who is paranoid about pickpockets or things falling out accidentally. I do love all the pockets though as there are a total of 8 (!). That's a lot, and so this bag holds my keys, wallet, umbrella, phone, scarf, sweater, and chap stick perfectly. I also felt so stylish wearing this when compared to all the "regular looking" backpacks out there. Overall I am very pleased with my first bag make.

This is the ridiculously awesome backpack I got from work. It has 743 zipped pockets. It means I never have to be more than a wifi connection away from work! Yay! ;)
The event is called Backpack to Briefcase, which took place on Tuesday, April 14th in Latham Hall.
