backpack makeover

I needed the perfect backpack to hold all my stuff over the summer, and this one was the perfect size, shape, and had the pockets I needed in the places I needed them. The problem? Nobody in our family has the initials "DM" or plays soccer.



I almost went to a craft store to look for patches, but I made myself think of what I could reuse, and remembered my old Girl Scout sash, just sitting in a box in the basement. I seam ripped them off of the sash, and sewed them onto the backpack. I love the retro look of them, and it's nice to reuse something that was a part of my childhood.





Much better!
