After having loyally followed me in my wanderings, my backpack gave up the ghost. I couldn’t make up my mind to throw it away. While I was inspecting it once again to be sure that it was damaged beyond repair, I noticed that the front pocket of the backpack was still in good condition.

I cut the outline of the front pocket. Then I oversewed the outline to prevent the fabric from fraying. I unstitched the brand logo. To complete the work, I cut the handle of the backpack and I sewed it on my new pouch.

Henceforth this pouch cut out of my old backpack travels with me.
