The bag has a foldover top and closure to keep things secure while the front zippered pocket keeps essentials within easy reach. The straps are also fully adjustable so it’s nice and comfy to wear too.

This is an intermediate class and we recommend you have a few projects under your belt before coming along, as always if you are unsure just get in touch.

FAQ Backpack class Questions!

I am a beginner sewer - is this project suitable for me?

I would suggest you have a few projects under your belt before making the backpack, it is listed on the pattern as an intermediate skill level and requires some accurate seam allowances etc.

I have a whole range of fabrics i'd like to use rather than just a couple is this ok?

The pattern uses heavier weight fabrics for the exterior and quilting cottons for the straps and lining etc – as long as your fabrics are similar weight then you are fine – just be aware lighter fabrics will lead to a less sturdy backpack so you may need heavyweight interfacing instead – if in doubt just get in touch.

I've never used any metal bag hardware before, will I be OK?

You will be talked through the pattern and bag making process every step of the way so please don’t worry at all.
