We are thrilled to announce a new sewalong this spring, this time for the Bookbag Backpack. Just in time for any picnics, reading under the sun or starting a new hobby or class. The Bookbag Backpack has been one of our most popular patterns since its launch, together with (can you guess?) The Nappy Bag and the Companion Carpet Bag.
The Bookbag Backpack is quick to sew, and like one of my customers says on Etsy in one of her reviews, you follow the instructions and in no time at all you have made yourself a beautiful backpack.
