DIY Backpack Pattern in Pretty Girls Sew Magazine

A little while ago I was asked by the lovely Tabitha from Pretty Girls Sew to contribute to the first edition of their digital magazine which I was very excited about! Pretty Girls Sew is a fab sewing blog founded by Yetunde, Crystal, Tabitha, Jenell and Miesha and is a great place for sharing your sewn creations with other sewing enthusiasts plus getting inspiration for new creations.

I was really honoured to be asked to contribute, the Pretty Girls Sew magazine is now available to read digitally and it’s so good, I can’t wait to read the next edition!

As I’ve been lusting after a smart rucksack for a while and this seemed like a good opportunity to make one for myself.

You can find the full tutorial and DIY backpack pattern here on pages 48-50.

I also took some step by step photos to go along with the tutorial which you can find below if you need any extra help with it – there isn’t a picture for every stage as some stages are self explanatory without images.
