Basic Skills Necessary:
- Sew a consistent 1/2" seam
- Sew a straight line
- Cut in a straight line.
Pattern Description:
If you are looking for a great beginning sewing pattern, this may be exactly what you need. It's a simple back pack with casings, interior pocket, and lots of room for error.
When I teach a beginning sewing class, this is the last of the three projects (after a pillow case and a tote bag). Because you are using a 1/2" seam, you've got some wiggle room and will be OK if things don't quite line up! Plus, you'll be putting in two grommets/eyelets, which is a great thing to learn.
If you don't want the back pack, you can make a drawstring bag by leaving the tabs off and using only 2 yards of cord. In either case, check out the colorful clothesline that the big box hardware stores sell - perfect for this pack pack!
Sizing / Finished Measurements:
- 14" x 12"
Materials:
- fabric
- grommets/eyelets
- drawstring or clotheline
