This book has tons of great sewing projects, 24 to be exact. I saw the Simple Drawstring Backpack and immediately decided that Wren needed one to start kindergarten with. Violet would need one too, of course!
It is a nice basic design. Lotta Jansdotter says that although this is a simple pattern, you should allow a day for this project, which was fairly accurate. I made these two assembly line style and it took me most of an afternoon and part of the evening. I did all the cutting and ironing first and then sewed them up. There were a few type-o's, but nothing that stumped me. Lotta suggests that this is a project for a beginner that is ready for a challenge and I do agree.
I think they turned out super cute, now I hope they are super useful!

Cute!! I made a backpack for Dane. If the older sibling has one, the younger one needs one too. Glad you choose to make two;)
Ooh I do love your childrens' names.
Very cute!!! Pumpkin Doodle is obsessed with backpacks and will make a bag of any kind fit on her back somehow, someway. I think this would make a good replacement for a Wal-Mart shopping bag, huh? :P I wonder if I can get my act together to make the girls these for their "school" stuff.
These are adorable!! I love that book too - simple designs but so practical and beautiful at the same time.
