Well, it's a start! This will be in the center of one of the large side pockets of my Weekender bag. I have to fix that center seam first -- just a little off...
the days she gets to wear her own clothes. we like the uniform during the week...makes things easy easier.
This is a multi-function device, made in 1983 by Hendren Enterprises of Harrodsburg, Kentucky. McKeown's Price Guide attributes it to "Hendren Enterprise" (without the S on the end), and it is indeed spelled that way on the unit, but Hendren applied for a trademark for the name "The Weekender", and the partnership is called Hendren Enterprises on the official forms.
The unit consists of a 110 camera, AM/FM radio, flashlight, clock, stopwatch, dual time zone indicator, wake up alarm, and a storage compartment. I'm guessing they liked "The Weekender" and decided to trademark the name, and then realized their device had eight functions, so they'd call it "Octopus" as well. Or maybe they planned to make other products called The Weekender.
In any event, Hendren Enterprises wasn't in business for very long, as the Octopus apparently had quality issues. This may have been more tolerable if it had been inexpensive, but this thing sold for about $75 in 1983. If they created a product with all those functions today, it would probably be the size of a credit card, and free with the purchase of a magazine subscription!
In 1990, the trademark registration was cancelled, and these days there are several products called The Weekender.
I like cameras that are also other things, so this is a fun addition to the collection.
I would have liked to have had something displayed in the LCD window, but I couldn't get AA batteries to fit, even though that's what it's supposed to take. Odd.

Experiencing extreme frustration when making the Amy Butler Weekender Bag.
Everyone who has made it says it will be worthwhile. We'll see.

This is the interior of the Weekender Bag I made my partner in the Goodie Bag Swap. The interior photo is here. I also made a matching zippered pouch.
I had made a practice bag for myself with the intention of doing something different for my partner. I had actually purchased Amy Butler's "Sophia Carry-All" pattern with the intention of making that. However, I thought that the Weekender seemed easier after I saw the Sophia pattern so that's what I went with. I signed up for the intermediate level in the swap and I know some people consider this pattern to be advanced but I thought it was more of an intermediate level (especially because I had already made one.) This one only took a day to make!
Based on what my partner posted in her inspiration mosaic and what she has commented on and said I am pretty sure that she will like this bag. I definitely love it and it's taking a lot of willpower to give it away.
