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.
I have more photos and wrote more in my blog here: cathywu.com/journal/kalali/2013/12/12/cooper-backpack-bag/
With the bottom folded to the mark, and the flap folded down over that, it's easy to place the harness.

A rare portrait. The topic of how to carry your camera gear while backpacking is one of endless discussion among photographers... what to take and where to put it. I've chosen to go with the "Crumpler" photo bag which grants quick and easy access to my camera and two lenses. It can get a bit tiring on longer days, but is still worth it.
This is my Nikon FM2n on my Gitzo Traveller tripod. I use it to shoot landscapes on Velvia 50. This photo was shot on my Nikon D40 DSLR, I like to carry both. Check my stream for some of my film shots with this setup. I'll be adding more as I get them scanned.

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! ;)
My 5.11 Tactical Rush 72 backpack, with a TADGear morale patch, and the very important tactical iPod pouch (also by TADGear, the OP-1).
Tactical shopping backpacks are nothing: At the EDCforum there's talk of tactical diaper bags (with optional MOPP-4 suit for changing diapers).
One of the many cute dogs in the crowd after the "Iceman Cometh" mountain bike challenge. This race had about 4000 participants, and they rode 27 miles from Kalkaska to Traverse City.
bistar Galaxy offer Zombie College Student Rucksack Backpack bag also provide zombie print school bookbag for boy & Girl.
The best multi-day pack in the world, in my opinion. Very light.

Haven't bought a new backpack... maybe ever in my adult life? But with a trip this weekend and more short trips in general, it seemed like it was warranted. I got the Herschel Mid-Volume accidentally--I'd intended to get the normal sized--but turns out this is really well proportioned to my frame.
