Simple Drawstring Backpack FREE sewing tutorial and pattern
With over 10 years of tutorials on her site, this designer produces really great patterns and tutorials. This time she has designed a super simple drawstring backpack that comes with a FREE tutorial and pattern. She has even included a FREE download for the applique shapes featured on the backpack.
These drawstring backpacks are perfect for kids as they are simple, lightweight, and large enough to carry around their essentials, whether they are out walking or riding on their bike. We really love the summer and beachy feel to them. Pick some pretty fabrics and go to town with color and the fun applique shapes.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE THE SIMPLE DRAWSTRING BACKPACK:-
- 1/2 yard of cotton fabric for the outside – a lightweight home decor fabric would make them more hardwearing,
- 1/2 yard of cotton fabric for the lining,
- Shape-Flex Interfacing,
- 4 yards of string/trim for the backpack straps,
- Fat Quarter of Riley Blake Solids for the applique,
- Heat N Bond Lite (for the appliques),
- Two 1″ grommets,
- A scrap of white felt and 2 black buttons for the crab,
- Basic sewing supplies,
- Sewing machine.
