Shop Update: Toddler Backpack Pattern
![]() : : Click on image above to shop for pattern : : Cost: $6 Included in the PDF: Step-by-step instructions Full-color photographs to augment the instructions Clear directions on how to easily enlarge the pattern for a larger child Complete set of pattern pieces (including rectangular pieces) Materials: The pattern uses about a 1/2 yard of medium- to heavy-weight canvas for the outside. As mentioned before, I purchased the Japanese fabric used in the photos on Superbuzzy (see links at left). The backpack holds its shape pretty well due to the piping and the quilted bottom, but if you wanted a more rigid backpack you could also interface it with something thick, like another layer of canvas. In addition to the outer fabric, you'll need about 1/4 yard of medium-weight fabric (I used some bottom-weight twill from JoAnn) for the straps and bottom and a small amount of fleece or quilt batting for the bottom panel and strap padding. Notions: two 1" plastic strap adjusters (or four 1" D-rings), 3/4" yards of 1" nylon strap, one 14" zipper, and one package of pre-made 1/2" bias tape piping (2 1/2 yards total if you are a Crazy Person and think you'd like to make your own). : a few of the notions needed :I actually bought all of my supplies at JoAnn. The piping comes in all kinds of colors and I was pleasantly surprised at the selection of colors in nylon strap. I also think it would be totally great to do an applique on the outside like one of these. A little lion? Monkey? So cute! : : Finished Dimensions : : Height: 11 3/8", Width: 10", Depth: 4 1/4" Here's my little guy (almost 2 years old!) modeling it today in the balmy but barren Midwest: ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm really relieved to moving on to something else in the world of sewing (and so are those of you who have no interest in sewing for toddlers, I'm sure). Next in line project-wise: SPRING TOPS!!! Comments: What a handsome model! Comments: I bought mine!

I wish Superbuzzy had more of this fabric, do you know the name they had it under. It totally makes the bag, will have to make one for my 3 year old. It's fabulous!!! Have fun in Italy!
