Customer Project: Small Skiing Backpack

by Myriam

• OVERVIEW
• HOW DO I MAKE IT
• MATERIALS

• I made this small backpack as a Christmas present for my mom.  It's meant to hold water, phone, keys, and maybe a hat or gloves when skiing.  I based the general shape of the bag off of a Jansport I have at home, but I made it a bit smaller.  I also modified the straps quite a bit because I wanted the pack to be able to hold a water bladder with a drink tube.
