The Making Backpack from Noodlehead promises to be one of the most used items you'll make! A classic backpack with adjustable shoulder straps, useful top handles and plenty of room inside to fit everything you could need on a day out.
Store valuable items securely inside the bag in the interior zip pocket and use the front slip pocket for quick access items like gloves (or sunglasses in warmer weather!). You can alter the internal and external pocket configuration to your own needs.
The backpack is lined for a flawless finish both inside and out, and all internal seams are finished with coordinating binding. We've sourced all the hard-to-find hardware bits for you, along with perfectly matching YKK zips and cotton webbing.
This is a great base pattern for customising and in the top tips videos Lauren shows you how to make the backpack your own by adding: side pockets, a rear pocket, a strap reinforcer and handy additional internal pockets.
An incredibly satisfying sew, this is a backpack that you'll love for many years to come.
For this kit we've chosen three classic colours of this gorgeous Bedford cord fabric: navy, olive and tan.
This Bedford cord is a medium weight fabric that resembles corduroy. The weave has faint lengthwise ridges though less pronounced than on a classic corduroy. Unlike a corduroy, it also doesn't have a directional nap to it, making it easier to work with.
This fabric is both soft to touch and durable, and works brilliantly paired with our coordinating cotton webbings.
