Tim's backpack

Today; another blast from the past...
When Tim was about eighteen months old and had become a brand new older brother, I made him a backpack, using a pattern from one of those wonderful TopKids magazines (very sadly discontinued).  It is of denim, lined with check cotton, and I appliqued the letters of his name on the pocket using interfaced scraps of the same check cotton, attached on with skinny zig-zag stitch.
He was so cute with it and wore it all the time when I first made it.  He would put it on first thing in the morning and toddle around with it on his back all day, with a few precious toys inside.  
Later it was his kindy bag. 
Then later when he got older it wasn't cool anymore and didn't get used for years.  Now it has become an awesomely cool bag once more, and is the one he takes along to uni everyday.
Funny...
