Tutorial: Slouchy backpack
Donatella from Inspiration & Realisation shows how you can make this awesome slouchy backpack. The look is more sophisticated than what you normally get in a backpack. It’s made from a heavy linen fabric, with cotton for a lining. Extra large eyelets and rope make the closure and the straps. For the tutorial, click the link below:

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
That is a backpack anyone, any gender or age could use and take anywhere. Dignified and minimalist. Wonderful design. Thanks for sharing.
Great backpack! Love the fabric used in the picture!
