The rucksack I made from the Kurai Muki Basic Bag making book last week. Followed the instructions to a tee following her youtube video (It’s a series of 6 videos, just follow the numbers to the next video. The only thing I should have done, is to add two pockets on the sides for her water bottle, which tends to leak. Oh well, not too bad for a first attempt. Oh, and my most successful attempt at sewing on laminated cotton yet! The fabric is a very nice denim blue with white polka dots. I can’t remember which brand it’s from and it wasn’t printed on the fabric selvedge. Anyway, it’s a nice laminated cotton which means everything just wipes off 
Perfect for a primary school kid!
Probably can’t say the same about the straps, they are white. Nice when new. Let’s see in a few weeks time.
Used one of my owl fabrics that never looked quite right for a dress, too thin for a bag, and I never get around to making quilts anyway. Attempting to destash.
One side of the lining was sewn by machine, but the other had to be sewn by hand. Took me a good half an hour. But I’m pretty proud of how neat it turned out. 
New bag is super light and comfy to carry!
Fabulous! Love the laminated cotton.
Me too
And I have some left to make a bag for myself!
That’s fantastic!! Great work
Thank you Cindy!
such a professional finish , I especially like the boxed front pocket!
Thank you! I like the front pocket too, it wasn’t too difficult to do, and finally thanks to the video I figured out how to do the corners properly.
Nice… I just bought the book today, thanks to your book review. Hopefully I will start to work on it soon.
It’s perfect.
I wish I could sew like you
It’s really not difficult, you just have to keep practicing. My first project was horrible…
Oh la la, it is gorgeous, I love it =)
Thank you Edith!
