The Ninebark Backpack is a small backpack with a vertical zipper pocket on each side of the bag (each zipper pocket is separate). The flap is a great size to feature a panel or large-scale print, and the backpack straps are adjustable.
An online workshop is available to purchase for this pattern, watch the trailer video below:
Online Workshop Length – 1 hour 44 minutes
Finished Size: 9” long x 10-1/2” high x 5-3/4” deep (23cm x 27cm x 15cm)
Supplies Needed to Make This Bag:
- 1 yard/metre of exterior fabric
- 1 yard/metre of lining fabric
- 1/2 yard/metre of foam interfacing (By Annie’s Soft and Stable, Pellon Flex Foam, Bosal In-R-Form, or automotive headliner – if using Flex Foam that is 20” wide, please purchase 1 yard/metre instead)
- 3 yard/metre 20” wide Pellon SF-101 Shape Flex fusible woven interfacing (or med-weight fusible interfacing)
- 9” x 9” piece of Pellon Thermolam (fusible fleece is fine also)
- 1/4 yard/metre of Pellon Peltex/Decovil Heavy
- Two 9” handbag zippers
- 1/2” magnetic snap (a regular magnetic snap is preferable to a thin magnetic snap)
- Two 1” metal rectangles
- Two 1” metal sliders
- If you would like to use webbing instead of fabric for your straps, you will need 2-1/2 yards of 1” wide webbing
Note: If you would like to cut your Exterior Flap from a different fabric (so that it stands out), you will need one 9″ x 9″ piece of fabric.
