If you are a beginner in the art of sewing and you have never tried to sew a backpack because you think it is too difficult, here goes a free sewing pattern for you to start creating a simple but very cute backpack. This pattern is made available by the Japanese textile firm Kokka, and features their beautiful fabric with hearts. If you prefer other motifs, you can choose your favorite among the many prints Kokka fabrics: it will always have that unmistakable kawaii style!
In addition to the outer fabric, you will need some bias tape, acrylic tape and buckles to mount the fastening straps at the rear, a 50cm zipper, and another fabric that will become the inner lining. As you can see, these are the minimum elements. This backpack is designed for young children so the final size is small, but thanks to the large upper opening, it is spacious and they will easily put their things in and take them out.
In our kawaii shop we carry a selection of Kokka fabrics, as well as many useful sewing notions, including Gütermann threads in hundreds of colors, zippers of different lengths, elastic etc. If you like sewing, we recommend that you check out our textiles: you will find high quality fabrics from world class suppliers known for their fantastic designs.
We’ve included other fabric designs you can use to give this project a go!
If you decide to give this backpack a try, please send us some images of the finished project. We love to see and share what you do with our products!
We LOVE this little backpack!
