Backpack Purse- Is it a Hit or Miss?

Hello everyone, my favorite time of the week is here… It’s Hit or Miss time!

I want to introduce the backpack purse!  I had so much fun creating this purse that I forgot to add pockets to this prototype.  I plan to improve this pattern and make a tutorial of this in the upcoming weeks.

What do you think? Is it a Hit or Miss? Fab or Drab?

The backpack has one super soft strap, and the flap with magnetic closure covers the draw string opening to the roomy purse.

Simple yet functional when you’re on the go.

  3. Definite hit! I have been thinking about a backpack design – had not thought of making a draw-string under the flap – nice work!

      Thank you! I think the draw-string gives you more flexibility in storing and securing your things. Can’t wait to see your backpack design. 🙂

  12. I love it! I would probably need something much bigger as sometimes I feel like I have to carry the kitchen sink with me! TFS! #sscnet

      Absolutely! I was thinking the same thing. It should be a little bigger, but not sure if the kitchen sink would fit. 🙂
