Minni Mini Backpack sewing pattern
This is the “Minni” Mini Backpack sewing pattern, that makes a perfect mini-sized backpack for both adults and kids alike. The backpack has many uses but whether it will be your everyday bag or vacation hopper this bag has everything that you will need.
On the exterior of the “Minni” Mini Backpack, you will find two elasticized side pockets, which are just the right size for water bottles. There is also a front zippered cargo pocket for those extras you need to keep handy and adjustable straps, to make it comfortable for whoever is wearing it. And inside the roomy interior, you’ll find a zippered pocket for those smaller items that you just can’t lose.
