Welcome to Week 1 of the Chickadee Backpack Sew Along!
This week, you’ll be choosing your fabric. Then, cut out all of your fabric and attach it to the interfacing, and you’ll also be sewing up the straps. This week’s tasks will take you up to Step #10 in the pattern instructions.
I can’t wait to see what fabrics you’ll choose for your bag!
I discussed some thoughts on Sewcial Sunday for modifying your Chickadee Backpack, if you wish. This sew along discussion is timestamped in the video (it starts around 4 minutes 40 seconds):
When you’ve completed up to Step #10, snap a quick photo of your progress (your photo can either be of your fabric choice, your pieces cut out and attached to interfacing, or you can take a photo of your straps). Enter your photo below to be eligible for a randomly-drawn $50 gift certificate to www.sewsweetness.com! You have until October 30, 2021 to enter your photo.
Please enter your own photo in the linky tool below so your fellow sewists can see your beautiful work!
Random winner will be chosen after October 30, 2021 out of all entries received. The winner for Week #1 is Lonnie!

I don’t know of an address to use in Linky to be able to post my pictures.
