Finished Backpacks!

So, all of my kids have started school for the year. and i actually finished backpacks for two of them before school started. i did a little tweaking of the pattern when i made the second of these backpacks, because i wanted the straps to be more appropriate for a youngster. the day in the park backpack/tote pattern is a great pattern, but i realized once i had it made, it's not really proportioned for kids. i think for my littlest's backpack, i might try this pattern. (actually, there are several of rae's patterns that i'd like to try!) but my two boys have enjoyed using their homemade backpacks, although i do wonder if at some point (if i continue this craze of homemade madness) if they will begin to resent me for not having the store bought things!
