Bag Chronicles August 2019 Week 3

Drawstring Backpacks This backpack is amazing.  It may seem small on the outside but it is definitely much “Bigger on the Inside”.

This is a great beginner pattern if you can manage installing zippers and making buttonholes. 

The pattern calls for the straps to be made from fabric; however, I found it easier and less time consuming to use paracord. I have made this bag with and without the inner pockets, but never do I omit the exterior zipper pocket.  Along with it’s size, that is the best feature of the bag.

I will list below some more details about this pattern.  Enjoy.
