Runner, Eater, Mother, Tweeter

Amy, July 2013

I'm a thirty-something suburbanite turned ruralite living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Wife, mom of two, eater of all things delicious, and a runner. This is where I blather on about running and health. Baby Number Three will be here in November (so yes, I'm a little crazy), and I'm running through my pregnancy for as long as my body's willing and able. There's also more of me at amyupnorth.com.

Finished this earlier this week but taking its maiden trip today across the UP. #makingbackpack from @makingzine by @noodlehead531. Waxed canvas for the exterior. I had a neutral yard of linen from @fabricateboulder I used for the lining. The leather stamp is custom from @leatherstampmaker. The homemade bias tape is far from perfect but I was mostly concerned about just getting the raw seams covered. I bought the fabric sons ago at a Hancock Fabrics in WI on a hockey trip. 😀 I used buffalo leather for the straps. Didn’t know if. I had long enough pieces for the shoulder straps but they seem to be okay. If I did it again, I’d think about roller buckles instead of the rectangle adjusters. Love the size of the interior zippered pocket. This bag holds a ton! Would maybe add a two-way zipper next time, along with more interior pockets/slips. Thanks, Anna! This was a fun, simple yet challenging project!
