This App Has A Lot Of Simple DIY Summer Backpack That Can Inspire You

We're excited to share with you a free sewing tutorial for a Simple Summer Drawstring Backpack ! I’ve even included a free download for the applique shapes featured on the backpack. Sew some adorable drawstring bags for your child to use this year to carry their school supplies.

To make ONE backpack you’re going to need:

I’ve included free applique patterns for you. To get them hop on over to my blog’s templates page.

1/2 yard of Girl Crazy Fabric for the outside, cut two pieces 15” x 15”

1/2 yard of Girl Crazy Fabric for the lining, cut two pieces 15” x 15”

Shape Flex Interfacing, cut two pieces 15” x 15”

4 yards of string/trim for the backpack straps

Fat Quarter of Riley Blake Solids for the applique

Heat N Bond Lite

2, 1” grommets

for the crab a scrap of white felt and 2 black buttons

All seam allowances are 1/2” unless otherwise noted

- Begin my printing out the applique pattern, that can be downloaded here.

Trace the pattern onto a piece of heat n bond lite (Trace on the paper side of the heat n bond) Remember your image will be reversed after appliqued- it doesn’t matter too much with these shapes, but might if you use another shape.

- Iron onto the wrong side of the applique fabric

Cut out

- Peel off the backing and apply to the front backpack piece in the desired location. Apply the shape flex interfacing to the wrong side of the two backpack outside pieces.

- Stitch around the applique with matching thread. To complete the crab, cut out two pieces of white felt for his eyes and sew two black buttons to the center.

- Sew the 2 backpack outside pieces together, right sides facing, leaving the top seam open. Press the seams open and clip the corners.

- Repeat for the 2 lining pieces.

- Slip the lining piece into the backpack outside piece, wrong sides facing.

- Pin so that the top edges are even and the side seams match.
