Well….I am proud of myself…I did manage to get Amy’s packpack finished in time for ‘back to school’. The main bag is zippered and it has a large front zipper pocket as well which is big enough to hold a couple of exercise books – come to think of it, I wonder if exercise books are the same size the world over?….or are they like printing paper and a ‘standard’ size which is different dependant on where you are? LOLL. There’s a large front elastic pocket with button closure to keep the contents secure, two elastic side pockets and a large slip pocket inside…again, exercise books fit in nicely.
Okay….I can’t help myself….I had to measure ‘our’ exersise books and they measure 17.5 cm accross X 22.5cm high…. (approx. 6⅞ X 8⅞)
Hi Christine
You backpack is adorable and the fabric is gorgeous. I’m sure your daughter is very proud of it.

Thanks Maria….yes, she is very pleased with it! She had a lot of input on the design too….like where she wants pockets, what size the bag & pockets should be….so this bag is special to us both and hence it will be named after her! LOL!
It’s lovely Christine! Love the fabric too. Our exercise books are 8.5 x 11″ for the most part ..
Hi Toby,
Thanks for the lovely comments re the backpack and thanks for the info on your exersise book size! Thats closer to our A4 size books……
