PunKitty-Plaidness Pak

This is a backpack that I finished just last night after about eleven days of solid handsewing. The patterns are somewhat improvised - I will explain where as the project progresses (definitely read through the WHOLE process before you start! and don't feel like you HAVE to do EVERYTHING just like I have it here... variate! I'm certainly going to, in future versions of this piece).

The Eyes zipper open and shut and there are four button-close pockets on the sides. The entire pack is lined.

I searched things like "skull" "kitty" "back pack" "punk" and a number of other related terms on etsy... went shopping for fabric at JoAnn's with my friend, took some inspiration from the world around me...bought the wrong zipper, bought the right zipper... and had a ball, and tried to take lots of pictures.

If you love this piece but are more interested in purchasing a finished project than you are pursuing the task, please contact me thru etsy to place a Custom order. Thank you for viewing and happy handiworking!

Soooo cuutteee!! Has character and i love plaid! :P if you add ironing your folded back seams to your process you will get cleaner lines even if you hand stitch (not that there is anything wrong, just a tip!). Very well done lost of pictures! Doing one myself too!!! And i think i will try a longer kitty shape! Maybe with paw pockets too!! Hmmm the ideas you have given me!! Thanks! :D

That's so cool you're making one!!! omgosh. I'd love to see a photo of the finished bag, paw pockets sound like a supercute idea <3
