New backpack

My 4th backpack is done.  This time I splurged and actually bought the fabric to make it.  I got the fabric from Seattle Fabrics.   The cost of the fabric was $25.50 with shipping "handling" and regressive Washington state sales tax.

 I did not buy anything else to make this pack, all the other materials were things I already had on hand.  I cannibalized a few parts of the first backpack that I ever made.

The material is all slightly heavier than the 75D ripstop tent rain fly that I made my first three packs from.  I'm hoping that having both brand new and heavier material will make this pack more durable.

I'm really happy to finally have a pack that is a color that I like too.

It took me at least 32 hours to sew this using pretty much all the same design as my last two packs.  The only pattern that I made was for the shoulder straps and I've used that pattern three times now. This time I cut the pads much wider though.  I hope this pack will be more comfortable  than the last one.
