Form

The first carrier back pack with an external frame dates from the time of the Ötzi, 5300 years ago.
The first "real" backpack came around 1800, when Napoleon's soldiers wore knapsacks.
The backpack won its current popularity in the 80s.

I love the design of this with the markings on it. I never knew the history of backpacks. Super image.

Cool photo with the patterns on it, and interesting information too. Backpacks have also revolutionized photography in the amount of equipment we can carry safely. Well done or the challenge!

Excellent idea Mieke. That's a great shape and with such great pattern markings.

So, if you want to make a shirt you could cut this up and sew yourself one!! It may be a bit small though!
