I’m taking my family to DisneyWorld a little later on this year to celebrate our youngest daughter’s graduation (her requested present). So… in order to do Disney in fashion, I decided to make a leather backpack to take with us to the parks. I’m not much of a ride guy… so I’ll be the pack horse and carry around everybody’s stuff while they ride. Thus the need for a backpack!
I’ve incorporated the names of my family members within the map… making it my treasure map. And the back says “not all treasure is silver and gold”.
Thank you! Yes, I did all the stitching by hand. I actually enjoy doing the stitch work… it’s something that keeps me busy, yet I can let my mind wander without risking losing a finger like I could while doing wood working!
I spent a lot of time sewing, and it’s not a complete project for me unless I let my mind wander and sewed something upside down or backwards and have to take the entire project apart.
Oh WOW WOW WOW! As a Disney fan this is so beautiful! Can’t describe it in words! I love to do the stitching, such a sense of accomplishment for me. I need to try a backpack. I’ve only done some wallets, etc. but this really inspires me!! Beautiful!!
Beautiful backpack! I’ve got way more leather than I know what to do with, this looks like an excellent project to take on. You’re definitely going to be asked where you got it, be prepared for disappointed fans haha
