I love sewing and designing - I was shopping at my local fabric store and came across this amazing red cotton fabric. I just had to turn it into something great. After watching all of my favorite 1940's movie this weekend - I was inspired to use the fabric and make a modern day glamorous verson of a rucksake. Think Huckleberry Fin with high heels and lip stick!! It was very easy to make - you can make almost any size. Figure out how big you want it - cut out 2 perfect squares. Here is the pattern and the directions.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the comments - I found the dress about 6 years ago at this awesome thrift store where I live. It was just setting in my closet. The waist was 18" which I am NOT and I always said "every year" I am going to fix it so I can wear it. SO this year I fixed it so I can wear it and I started a new job that keeps me on my feet all day long running aound and I lost 10 pounds...now it fits wonderfully!!!!
