Let's sew backpacks! Here you’ll find over
40 great backpack patterns & tutorials
from all over the web, including simple
drawstring backpacks, toddler-sized
backpacks, and serious outdoor gear.
And a drawstring backpack, because of its
simple design, can be a great first project
for someone who’s just learning how to

If your backpack is going to be used to

that has wider straps, which will probably be more comfortable to carry than a drawstring
backpack.
And when sewing your backpack, remember to switch to a larger, thicker needle when sewing
through several layers of heavy fabric (like when attaching the straps to your pack).
And a brand new backpack can make a great back-to-school gift for a child (but for safety
reasons, don’t put your child’s name on the outside of the backpack).
