Free Sewing Pattern! Your Bag of the Month (From SewCanShe!)

Know someone headed back to school this month? Whether you want to send them back in style or sew up a cute bag for yourself, this free, downloadable pattern is calling your name.

Easy Drawstring Backpacks

We’re thrilled to feature a pattern from popular designer (and Bluprint instructor!) Caroline Fairbanks-Critchfield, the bloggers behind SewCanShe. Born from the desire to create a project that didn’t require a trip to the store for notions, Caroline’s bag is made entirely of fabric and is easily customizable.

Bluprint member Cvarnado646358 says, “I just made the bag for my granddaughter, I made it from pre-quilted fabric and a little smaller. It’s great. I like the casing for the drawstring instead of just folding over the edges. It only took about 45 minutes and I know she will like it!”
