    just finished this patchwork backback and i'm really liking it. I had an old backpack that i wasn't going to use anymore, so i sewed patches over it. The fabrics i used were a blue silk sari fabric, black and white floral fabric, purple velvet, black cotton, and a black and white polka dot fabric. And then i sewed the little bow at the side. It was a lot of work, i counted approx. 70 handsewn patches.This was my first bag.

    I was thinking about making more & selling them. Would any of you wear this?

    Feedback is appreciated [​IMG]

    i dont have any money, so i couldn't buy one, but i would definatley buy one if i could :)

    a lot of people are in school, and expressing who you are with a lot of people around is always in the interest of youth, so they would probably sell really well!
