Did you open out the bias binding, or keep it folded in half? I'm sorry for the questions! <br /><br />I'm going to be keeping any and all working zippers for little projects like this! What a great idea! I'm always seeing strapping like this in the clearance bins at my local sewing store, now I won't walk by!Thyrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08826615543715946642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-12706961119340281922011-10-12T19:54:03.437-06:002011-10-12T19:54:03.437-06:00So awesome, to recycle the zipper.

I always feel wasteful throwing those bags things away, why didn't I think of recycling a zipper. genius.<br />leandthepea.blogspot.comlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419901586327437257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-60722174190163532242011-03-21T14:52:16.159-06:002011-03-21T14:52:16.159-06:00jt,

You want it long enough to things in and out of the back pack easily.<br /><br />Try putting in a few stitches in the canvas (doubled up) with a sturdy needle and see how your machine handles it. If it's like butter, add the interfacing. I'd try it - nothing worse than a droopy backpack.<br /><br />Good luck! I'm here if you have more questions :)Charity Indietuteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517919253368724623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-70153665040576330562011-03-21T14:29:24.230-06:002011-03-21T14:29:24.230-06:00I am endeavoring to make your original toddler bac...I am endeavoring to make your original toddler backpack for my 2 1/2 year old, but wanted to adapt one larger for my 6-year old who is in school. I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind: is strapping the same as webbing? What kind of webbing (thickness, weight, width, etc) should I look for, and what length of zipper would you recommend? I've only put a zipper in once and it was a measly 3 inches!<br />Also, I have some sweet thrifted printed canvas I am going to use for the toddler backpack- Do you think I should still use interfacing if I want it to be really sturdy? Or would I be cursing as I tried to sew through it all? Sorry for the barrage of questions! Thank you for your tutorials and advice!jthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11565824986946758808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-79490429053081526952010-01-13T02:53:05.704-07:002010-01-13T02:53:05.704-07:00Wow, that is ace!!
