Bookbag Backpack Pattern Release & A Giveaway!


 Good morning!
Happy Thanksgiving to all those readers in Canada!

Samantha from At home with Mrs. H revised her Bookbag Backpack pattern and I was lucky enough to test her updated pattern.  I love it!

I have been using mine for my laptop and all its cords and stuff.
Everything fits in it beautifully!  The outside has a nice big pocket, which didn't need the snap to hold it closed, but I added it just for fun. :-)  The outside is a decor weight fabric, and I used quilting cotton on the inside.  This was really an easy pattern to sew up and I love its roominess!

I knew I would never wear it as a backpack, so I left those straps off.  This side has a nice size zippered pocket on the outside.

The inside has a special zip pocket and also a few patch pockets.  I usually sew an
extra little seam in the patch pocket and shorten that bit so my pen, stylus etc doesn't fall into the bottom. ;-)

Be sure to check out Samantha's blog for all the tester versions of this bag~ there are so many it is hard to choose a favorite!  :-)

For a chance to win a pdf of this pattern, leave me a comment telling me how you would use the Bookbag Backpack.  I'll draw a winner on Friday, the 16th.  :-)

Good luck!!

That is an adorable book bag....too cute for words. I would just have fun making it for the sake of making it....for no particular reason...
