Next up the gift for Meredith a Range Backpack
Meredith is a soon-to-be-mom and recipient of the Rose Coat and overall outfit and I knew she would love a backpack for a diaper bag.
I have always admired Noodleheads' Range Backpack pattern and ordered it for my project. I had the main fabric in my collection, it was purchased from The Confident Stitch booth at Sew Expo. I had a limited amount and wanted a contrast so I went with a denim from Style Maker Fabrics and love the contrast between the two.
I did use the fabric a bit differently than the pattern photo. The denim for the pocket, mainly not to have to match the pattern of the fabric. I did match it on the side seams
One last thing I ordered was the Range Backpack Hardware kit, a must to have a very polished backpack
A couple of other changes, I had to unsew and redo the strap for the d-rings. The instructions state to interface this piece but with the denim it was just to thick and hard to put in the d-ring. I took out the strap and made a new one without the interfacing, this one is so much easier to put in the d-rings.
I added more inside pockets for baby item storage and attached a d-ring clip to the inside with a ribbon. I like the d-ring to hold the pacifier.
The zipper was something I had in my stash and the color works well with the fabric
I was very careful to keep all my items hidden during construction and completion. Meredith came out one day to work in my sewing room. I have this one spot I like to keep completed patterns on my desk by my laptop. This stack is my "to blog" stack. Well, she saw the Range Backpack pattern and said what a cute pattern, I love that backpack. Good thing she wasn't looking at my face or she would of known something was up. I quickly recovered and said yes, wanted to get to that pattern but no time until after Christmas!
Meredith was thrilled with the backpack and loved all the features, which I do too. The instructions for this pattern is amazing and the perfect amount of interfacing for a nice sturdy bag.
I might have to make myself one of these! I am so impressed with this pattern and the amazing instructions. This one is a winner and will be a repeat pattern.
Santa kept a good secret, didn't she?! Great looking backpack!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, love that fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove that fabric choice. I was fortunate enough to shop at The Confident Stitch at their brick and mortar location in Missoula, MT on a stopover while traveling to Banff National Park in Canada.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful backpack and it will make an excellent baby bag. Noodlehead bags are the best 👏

My wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.
