Description

My son asked for a new backpack, so I made this one from some fabrics in my stash. The outer fabric is brown gingham, and the lining is dark blue cotton with grey tiny patterns. This backpack didn’t use any pattern. I just made a simple sketch and then drew some rectangles directly on the fabric. The flap is a bit thinner than I imagined because there was no more fabrics left. The buttons on the flap are mostly leftover from other projects.

Material Notes

brown gingham, dark blue cotton
