***This is an instant download sewing pattern and not a finished product. Your pattern will be available as soon as payment is processed***
+++This is a measure and cut pattern which means that there are NO TEMPLATES to print off and match up- Yay! You need a rotary cutter, ruler and mat and you can cut the pattern pieces straight from the fabric. This is easier than it sounds because the pieces are all simple squares and rectangles.
When you buy this pattern, you have my permission to make this bag to sell- no mass production allowed of course but a few to sell at craft fairs or online, that sort of thing is fine. All I ask is that you credit me as the designer. I wish you all the success in the world with sales!
All measurements are in INCHES.
You NEED a great backpack. It is actually vital! It has to have plenty of pocket options and it doesn’t need to be too big – you are not walking the Appalachian Trail (well I am guessing here but I feel pretty safe in the assumption). More likely you are grabbing something as you race out the door and you need to trust that it will get you through the day. Or you are doing a walk around your city and you want to tote your lunch plus a few essentials. This is the backpack that you need. It is not too large but it has everything and it is easy to use. Let’s totally DO this!
Pattern Rating: intermediate sewist with some knowledge assumed. Don’t forget that there are tutes on my blog which give you more information if you need it – zipper box pockets and things like that. Just look out for the links as you need them.
Finished Size: 11” wide x 15” tall x 3 ½” deep
Suggested Fabrics: quilting weight cotton, denim, canvas, furnishing fabrics, linen, needle cord, waxed cotton, oilcloth
TIP: NEVER pass a curtain or furnishing remnant bin without having a rummage if you are a bag maker! Those fabrics are the perfect weight!
Fabric:
½ yd. canvas
1 ¾ yds. lining fabric to coordinate
TIP: the extra amount of lining includes the allowance for the bias tape. You can also buy this and save fabric in which case you need less lining fabric.
Interfacing:
1 yd. Style-Vil foam interfacing (Vlieseline) alternatively By Annie’s Soft & Stable.
Fat Eighth S320 fusible interfacing (Vlieseline). Pellon Craft Fuse works well too.
Everything Else:
Zippers. I have used non- divisible metal zippers but you could use any of your favourites. The most important thing is that they are the correct weight (heavy duty; #5 or not; #3) and the correct length. Continuous zippers work brilliantly too but if you are using a continuous zipper, cut 1 ½” longer than stated in the pattern to allow for the end tapes
- 1x 7” and 1x 12” zips for the main top gusset zipper (both #5)
- 2x 6” zips for the front double zipper pocket (#5)
- 1x 5” zip for the front outer zipper box pocket (#5)
- 1x 7” zip for the internal zipper box pocket (#3)
Webbing for the straps:
- 82” cotton webbing 1” wide for the main adjustable straps
- 12” cotton webbing 1 ½” wide for the top handle
- 12” cotton webbing 1” wide for the tabs on the rectangle rings and the gusset zipper ends
Hardware:
- 2x 1” rectangle rings
- 2x 1” bag sliders
A scrap of leather or vegan leather (hereafter, leather) about 3” wide x 11” long to trim the handle and to decorate the zipper pulls (optional if using)
Clear drying glue suitable for fabric
Fray Stopper (optional)
Coordinating threads for all fabrics and trims
Your usual sewing needs including scissors, markers, and extra feet for your sewing machine (zipper foot for example). You know, the usual stuff!
This pattern is super detailed. You will receive 17 pages with 18 easy to see colour photos to illustrate the steps and handy printable labels to help you to keep track of the pattern pieces. Simply print them off, cut the labels out and pin them to the fabric piece as you cut. You will find the labels on a separate PDF so if you choose to print double sided to save paper, you will not lose any of your pattern. In addition there are links to several free blog tutes to show you in more detail how to really nail the more intense bits. It is a pattern that will help you to sew better.
Please choose carefully, due to the nature of digital products, I cannot offer a refund.
