I just finished this backpack, a Christmas gift for one of my granddaughters. I found the snake fabric (Laurel Burch) last winter, and had just never found the right project to use it on. What do you think?

I love it - that is truly adorable!!!!

I love it. What cool fabric. She is going to be tickled. Great job and thanks for sharing.

I love that backpack and the fabric you used!

And clever of you NOT to put her name on the outside.
The colors are neat and I'm sure she will love it. I'll bet other girls will bug their own folks to make them one just like it.

it's really cute.. love the fabrics you used.

can you tell me where I can get this pattern? I think it is adorable....

That is the cutest backpack I have ever seen your GD is going to love it.And it's one of a kind very special.

Very cute purse, is that a part of a zipper as trim on the flap.

Wow, what a lucky girl!!!!! You did an awesome job. Love Love :thumbup:

Cathy this is simply FABULOUS! Kimberly is going to LOVE it! Thanks for sharing!

That's the cutest ever!! Wherever did you find the pattern? Please share!! Also love the fabric! You are soooooo creative!!

This back pack is adorable!! The fabric is cuter than a bugs ear :D:D:D

what a lovely gift I'm sure your GD will adore this!Your work is amazing, nametag is so cute! :) :)

I love all of the fabrics in this backpack...very fun & vibrant! My granddaughters would love this!

She will certainly be the envy of all her friends. Great job!!

Thanks all for your encouraging reviews!

The pattern can be found at http://www.pbtex.com/html/chloebackpack.html (and it's free!). I modified it just a bit, making mine 2 inches shorter, since Kimberly is only 6.

No, there's no zipper. I put a bit of Velcro on the back of the flap. The pattern didn't discuss any kind of closure, and I thought it needed SOMEthing. I'm also searching for a big button, maybe yellow?, to put on the flap, just as a decoration.

Oh, that is so cute!

Very cute!

Great bag!!
