How and from what to sew a backpack?

A backpack is a piece of clothing that interestingly combines the features of a backpack and a bag. It is a functional accessory for women, men and children, where you can store all the necessary accessories. It will successfully match many styles, and if we decide to make it ourselves, we will be guaranteed originality and individuality.

Criteria in the selection of material

The backpack should be roomy, light, solid and maintain its shape. When choosing a material, you should pay attention to the color, decorations and texture that will be responsible for the appearance of the bag. Ease of care will also depend on the material. You can also interestingly combine different types of fabrics, e.g. smooth, printed, quilted.

Lining it is worth sewing from a waterproof material, in case of unforeseen accidents, e.g. spilling a drink. A good quality bag is characterized by comfortable, strong strings and a solid bottom. Handles they should be made of a soft and durable material that will be durable and at the same time will not dig into the shoulders, e.g. sweatshirt suede or latex.

Most materials will work to sew a backpack. We especially recommend it sweatshirt, check, cotton, velvet, crepe, denim and waterproof crepe diver. The fabrics are highly durable, resistant to deformation and damage.

What do we need to sew a backpack?

  • Fabrics
  • Strong material for handles
  • Marker
  • Fabric scissors
  • High heels or cameras
  • Threads color matched to the material
  • Sewing machines 

To make you realize how easy it is, we will add a short instruction on how to sew a backpack. More detailed tutorials can be found on the Internet.

Step 1

Cut out the following from the fabric:

  • 2 rectangles that are the walls of the bag (30x35 cm)
  • 2 rectangles to create a tunnel for threading the string (6x30 cm)
  • 4 rectangles to create loops for stringing (4x6 cm)

Step 2 - tunnel

The shorter sides of the two rectangles dedicated to the tunnel should be folded up 1 cm and then sewn on the right side of the fabric. Then, using pins, we attach the fragments to the walls of the bag, maintaining equal distances from the edge.

Then sew the fragment to the wall and turn it inside out, fold the rectangle in half and sew it on the machine.

Step 3 – belt loops

Here we use 4 small rectangles. The fragments should be connected from the inside and sewn on 3 sides using the machine. To get rid of excess material, cut the corners diagonally. Then we turn the belt loops right side out. We attach the loops folded in half to the sides of the backpack a few centimeters from the bottom.

Step 4 – sewing the sides of the backpack

Place the walls on top of each other and fasten them with pins. Next, we sew the sides and bottom together.

Step 5 – pulling the strings through.

Insert the string into the tunnel and into the loop. On the other hand, we do the same.

Backpacks are very easy and quick to sew, and the satisfaction from such a backpack is great.
