Hello friends! Meet my Sunshine Backpack AKA Archie Backpack. Blue and Yellow from the Palette Collection to me is pure sunshine and happiness. I have always loved this color combo. The Archie Backpack pattern is by Knot and Thread. I really like using her patterns as they are easy to follow and she also has some videos from her sew a long that's going on right now.
I'm so happy with my fabric choices for the backpack.
The Palette BLUE Vintage for the body of the backpack, the BLUE stamps for the front pocket and a little YELLOW Vintage for accent were the perfect choices. The inside has a few more fabric which you'll see below like the YELLOW Map and the YELLOW Tiny Print.
This shows all the pieces quilted and ready to start making the backpack.
Next I added the binding and zippers.
Here are the inside pockets.
The yellow pockets are slip pockets and the blue pocket is for a computer (it's even padded).
Next up I made the straps and handle, cut the shape of the backpack and added the side tabs.
Adding the sides takes lots of clips and sewing slowly is the key. I also use a stiletto to help keep the layers in place as I sew.
Here's a few detail photos of the finished Backpack.
I also added a little piece from the Collage fabric for a fun detail.
Don't you just love the stitching between the stamp fabric?
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Happy sewing!
