D is for Drawstring Backpack


Who's ready for summer and camp season?  I'm sharing a fairly simple sewing project today: drawstring backpacks.  I made these for my girls to take to camp this summer (I have blocked out the camp name for safety reasons) just so they have something to tote around small necessities when going down to the lake, taking a day trip, etc.


There are lots of drawstring backpack tutorials out there so this is nothing new but I thought I'd share how I made this version along with the personalization tutorial.  (I followed the Purl Bee tutorial here as a starting point.)

Also I used drop cloth canvas on the exterior and cotton gingham for the lining.  The pink drawstring poly rope can be found at Home Depot.


The finish size you see my girls (ages 9 and 10) wearing above is:

11 1/2"w x 13 1/2"h

This is the medium size from the Purl Bee tutorial.
If I were to make these again in the future I would definitely make them bigger.

Below are the materials and step by step instructions:
