I got a new sewing machine last week and this was my first project on it! 

I take my art supplies, knitting, and lunch to work every day and that means I need a backpack with a ton of space. My old one was boring and also falling apart (probably because I got it for $15 at a crappy store). 

This one can fit everything and it’s also the brightest color ever. I found the sunflower fabric at the thrift store for $4 and the rest was fairly cheap or I already had on hand. Overall, I think I spent about $24 for everything - the most expensive thing was the interfacing.

PS - my new sewing machine is named Andy. Because it’s a Singer and my favorite artist is Hozier.
