The Making Backpack Pattern by Noodlehead Sewing Patterns is a pattern for a practical backpack – in two sizes: Regular (approx. 29×38×12 cm) and Mini (approx. 20×27×11.5 cm). You get a fully elaborated plan that guides you through all the details of a functional everyday backpack. The pattern is suitable for sturdy outer fabrics such as canvas, waxed canvas, or dry oilskin.

This allows you to sew a sturdy daypack for school, work, or excursions – in the Regular size for everything you want to carry daily, or in the Mini size for light trips and short journeys. The pattern includes a front pocket, either with a zipper or as a slip pocket, an inner zipper pocket for valuables, and adjustable shoulder straps for perfect carrying comfort.

This pattern leads you directly to a structured, ready-to-use result. With canvas or waxed canvas as the outer fabric, you'll create backpacks that are durable, show neat edges, and still look great after many trips. Noodlehead recommends quilting cotton as the lining fabric – it feels pleasant to the touch and is easy to work with.
