Golden Girls Denver Backpack (Swoon) and Matching Wallet (NCW - Emmaline Bags)

This Golden Girls inspired print from Backstitch Fabrics is pretty amazing. I love the snarky quotes and pretty colors, plus the cartoony style really captures the characters!

Pastels can be vibrant!
The Denver Backpack from Swoon (Affiliate link) is such a fun shape and so roomy inside! Adding in a coordinating Necessary Clutch Wallet just makes it better!

For this backpack, I found a perfect lining fabric at Joann's. It is a teal with palm trees, that screams Florida retirement community! (I used to live there and saw the motif/colors EVERYWHERE in the 80's/90's...)

Side pocket

Back, with palm tree straps
The pockets on the side are pretty slim
The hardware on this bag is from a few different places, I can't remember them all, but the palm tree pulls and pastel zipper tape were perfect matches!
Maybe I should start labeling my hardware purchases instead of just sorting by theme...
The shape of the Denver backpack is so fun, and the side pockets make it pretty handy! 

Quote: "You are truly one chromosome away from being a potato"

Probably my favorite quote "I'm either going out for ice cream or to commit a felony. I'll decide in the car"
The bottom is a glitter vinyl, which gives it a little protection when you set it down, plus a little extra structure. I also used it on the connector, and the hardware is from Wizardry, Stitchery and Crafts. (98% sure that's where I got it)

It's really hard to capture the amazing glitter in pictures

Rainbow hardware is everything
I never do posts about the NCW anymore because I feel like I've made so many and most are duplicates so I don't want to bore everyone. This one is super pretty tho, so I had to at least include the pictures! I can make these wallets in my sleep now (almost) but they always turn out so nice!

Blanche didn't get featured as much on the backpack, so she got the flap!
I always loved the St. Olaf quotes from Rose
I really should make more NCW with my stash and offer them on Etsy, they have been pretty popular and I only have 3 fandom options on there so far...
Sophia, so sassy...

With the matching lining!

I have a small amount of this fabric left, definitely need to find another fun project where I can use it!

One last pic of them both!
