This is a wonderful sewing pattern, with clear directions and everything else that makes a pattern happy. If you have a little person in your life, you really should make one of these!
So fun to make, and really, a wee backpack is cuter than you might imagine...
The pattern can be found here.
Sophie loves it and has been using it every time she goes to her other Nana's house, and pretty much everywhere else she goes.
I did add two side pockets, one for her water bottle and the other for her hankie.
The fabric and webbing are from Supperbuzzy, the fabric is quite thin, so I backed it with canvas.
Everybody is talking about the crisis in Haiti, Alaskans have been reaching out to Haiti, and so has the sewing/crafting blogging world. Here is one more way to help the people there -
Beth at ModernJax is auctioning off the items many of us help put together, so go check it out and please make a bid!
More info about the auction here.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I quilted the tree skirt that is up for auction right now! Go Bid!

Hello!
Thank you so much for your kind words on my blog. I am so glad that you like the garland idea and hope you have fun making them for your friends! This backpack is really beautiful and amazing! Oh, I hope to be able to sew like that one day! Hope this finds you well. Cheers!
I've seen this pattern around and you did it so darn well! Thanks for reviewing it, I am thinking I'll get this for my niece who is obsessing about starting preschool next year. Oh, I also love the pockets you added. Really smart and cute!
