Sewing 302: Backpacks
Backpacks are the ideal bag for anyone who’s always on the go.
The Range backpack is a useful and fun backpack to make! It’s great for any outing where you need to be hands free! The foldover top and closure keep things secure, while the front zippered pocket keeps essentials within easy reach. Adjustable straps make it wearable in any season.
You’ll love the Buckthorn zippered top backpack and tote for everyday use. They both have a front pocket for easy access to smaller items and a flat base. A divided interior pocket keeps everything inside organized. The backpack has adjustable straps and fits tablets, small laptops, and/or notebooks! The Buckthorn Tote is perfect for projects on the go.
In class we will go over how to install hardware in addition to tips and tricks to make your bag look more professional. (The secret is in the topstitching!)
P.S. Making the Buckthorn tote instead of the backpack is also an option.

| Instructor: | Erin Hubner |
| Instructor Bio: | Erin learned to sew as a kid and was always crafty but didn't really get fully into sewing until after college. After making a few rather involved Halloween costumes she realized she could make clothes to wear every day, not just at the end of October. Eventually this led to her going back to school for fashion design and construction and teaching classes for over 6 years. Her main focus may be garment sewing, but she has also worked on accessories, home decor and quilting. Basically, if it involves fabric, thread, yarn, or other similar craft supplies she probably does it on a semi regular basis. Except projects involving hot glue, she does try to stay away from those. |
