I'm using a juki DU-1181n in the video but testers have made one just as easily on their domestic machines. The exterior fabric is Botanist's Essay from the Bloomsbury Collection by Bari J for Art Gallery Fabrics. The waterproof canvas is from Fabric Wholesale Direct. - Jak na to + styl

Hello! I just wanted to say that I finished this backpack a few weeks ago. It turned out so adorable. I took it to Florida with me and it was so cute but also very functional. I like that! The zipper pocket that you said is good for a phone and easy to get to was so accurate. I loved it. Thank you so much for the video and answering all my questions. Ellen
Aww I’m so glad! Thank you for your feedback 🥰
You’ve done such a great job with this tutorial!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this. I have never made a bag before and I followed your pattern and the video and you're amazing. I'm so amazed at the result. Thank you so much x
Yesss! And that’s exactly why I do these videos even though I’m not a videographer! 🥴 I just want YOU to be successful on your first make! 👏🏻
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns if it wasn't for the video I don't think I would have got a far as finishing. Please don't ever stop making the videos. It's perfect alongside the pattern ❤ x
I made this by watching the video…many times. Such great directions and helpful hints. I will send pictures if I can.

Happy new year! I have a new industrial and I am new to vinyl and binding! By next evolutionary step in bag making starts now with your gorgeous backpack. I am super excited to start this, this week. Thank you for such a wonderful video and explanation of steps. 😊🎉🎉
Yay congrats!! Happy to be a part of your new industrial sewing journey!
Hi there! I am going to be making this bag as well on my domestic sewing machine. I'm new to bag making and I really am enjoying it. What type of industrial machine did you get? I see a lot of people are using Juuki. I may have to get one some day.....just trying to research for future. Because I recently retired and bought myself a new sewing machine I can't go right out and buy another. Mine is working fine for what I am doing so far!!:)
@@ellenbritton4506 my main machine for bag making is the juki DU 1181n. I love it!
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns Thank you! I'll put that on my wish list. I have downloaded the pattern and will be ready to start cutting out the material hopefully tomorrow. I am excited to start this new backpack!
@@ellenbritton4506 Hi Ellen, I tested the Juki 1181n and the Jack H5 at the shop and opted for the Jack as it has needle positioning and thread cutter. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to everyone! I think both machines are well suited to bag making. My backpack came out wonderfully and I loved doing the binding and not worrying about any of the thicker parts. 💜
Excellent video. Thank you🌹
Thank YOU! I’m so glad you found it helpful ☺️
Omg this is another favorite 😍
Thank you!
Wow, this is an amazing video and you are a wonderful instructor. I'm a little nervous trying to make this beautiful backpack (not sure I'm ready yet). I like the idea of using the rivets but need to get the equipment. Where do I purchase the rivets and the punch? Also, I've never used the zippers that add the pulls. . . more to learn!
There are hand setting tools and rivet kits you can buy off of Amazon to get started. Once you realize how great rivers are, then investing in a hand press is what I would recommend down the road. You can google “double cap rivets and setting tool” to see the options out there 👌🏻
Thank you
so cute😍
Thanks!
I'm so excited to try making this bag! Quick question, I'm very new to bag making. Is there a way to make the bag pattern larger? I want to make it for my son to hold his electronics when we go to places.
Since all the pattern pieces are included, you can increase the percentage for printing but you may need to take it to a print shop due to them then printing too large to fit on the 8x11 sheet of paper.
Hey Linds I too loved loved your teaching you made this tutorial look so easy how can I get the pattern
Thank you! All my patterns can be found at Lindshandmade.com 😀
Thank you I will check it out
Great video and pattern! I’m not using WPC and I want to make my own 1/2” bias tape with the same fabric that I am using instead of the WPC. Should I stabilize it with SF101 and/or Decovil light before cutting the strips or just use the fabric without the stabilizer(s)?
If not using WPC for your lining you will definitely need to interfacing all pieces, for sure. As for the bias tape, you’ll need to do a four fold to prevent fraying so definitely do NOT interface those strips.
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns Thank you!
Eu amo bolsas
Did you put a water proof liner on the outside panel of the little pocket so that the little pocket is also protected?
What about using a serger or is best to just do a basting stitch and add binding ??
For bags, it really should be finished with binding but if it’s for a personal sew and only you would see in the interior, serging it could be an option.
Will be starting this tomorrow. Very excited to give it a go. I’m always looking for hardware and noticed yours is attractive. May I ask where you purchase your hardware?
I’m a big fan of pursesupplydepot.com because they offer bulk discounts and free shipping on all the common finishes (except rainbow and rosegold. They don’t carry those finishes). The minimum purchase quantity for any piece of hardware though is 10.
Hi Linds! Will you share where you got those 1st 2 sliders with the rounded edges? They're adorable! Also, I'd like to have some leather or metal labels made for the items that I make. Do you have a referral for those, please?
I got them from pursesuppliesrus on Etsy. As for metal labels I ordered them in bulk from alibaba. If you’re interested in getting custom ones made, you should check out shopseamssewawesome.com. They are doing a preorder that closes soon for custom labels!
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns Thanks so much! I have been enjoying your videos and patterns and I will be ordering more soon. Blessings to you!
I’m making this for my granddaughter. What length of strap would you recommend for a 4 1/2 year old? Thanks for this wonderful video!!!
The straps are fully adjustable so I would still leave them the same length and just fully tighten them. 😊
Hi Linds! Well, my new Juki should be arriving tomorrow 😊 Do you have a video making this bag with vinyl? Or any tips for me if I should try that? Thank you!
Yay! Congrats! I don’t have a specific video tutorial for just vinyl but I mainly make all mine out of vinyl to avoid added interfacing 🥴. It doesn’t change much of the construction. The main difference I can think of off hand is that I don’t line the backside of the exterior back vertical pocket because I don’t have to with vinyl, lol. Or were you referring to CLEAR vinyl?? That’s different. I have a highlight reel saved on Instagram showing how I do my clear LindSports.
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns Thank you. And yes, just normal vinyl, not the clear vinyl. I'll give it a whirl!! Hopefully we can set up the machine this weekend so I can experiment with it first!
What is your recommended thread to use with your patterns?
Honestly whatever your machine likes best. There is no “right” thread.
Great video! I can’t get into the website, can you post the link?

Is there a list of recommended suppliers for hardware and materials? I'm new to bag making and not sure of the best place to buy zipper tape, pulls, rectangle rings, strap adjusters, etc. Thank you.
SO many suppliers! My handmade space has zippers and hardware, moremeknow dot com, Emmaline bags, sallie tomato, amazon, geeky hardware dot com, pursesuppliesrus on Etsy just to name few 😳
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns Thank you!
Do I need to interface when using Canvas for the main fabric and WP for the lining?
I don’t if using waterproof or waxed canvas. But standard canvas I would use the decovil light on the front pocket only.
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns Thank you 😁
I love this bag, What weight water proof canvas did you use? Also what type of thread do you use throughout the bag?
600 denier for the WPC. If I’m sewing on my domestic machine I use tex 45, for my industrial walking foot I use tex 80.
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns thank you
Hello~ I was reading the supply list for this bag, and it does say decovil light. Is that what type of interfacing you used on your cotton main fabric for this video or is that for the interior? I do see that woven interfacing is mentioned in the supply list and I guess that is what you have interfaced to your outer material?? Just want to make sure I buy and use the correct materials. I plan on using WPC for the interior. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.
I use the decovil light for the exterior piece of the front pocket only if I’m doing WPC for the lining and qc for the exterior. All qc pieces are interfaced with a woven interfacing.
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns Thank you so much. I appreciate you getting back to me. Now I can assemble all my materials. Hope I can do it!!:)
So aDr asked me to make her a backpack for work but it has to be a regular sized backpack. How do you think this pattern would do if I increased the pattern by 30 or 40%? I really love this bag so I'm hoping it could work
30-40% would be MASSIVE! I did see someone in my fb group increase it to 125% and it was almost a full sized backpack.
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns ok great that should work!!! I've tried so many backpack patterns and yours looks like it's the easiest to make bc you give such clear instructions. I'm definitely one that is a visual learner for sure! Thank you so much!!
For bag for a 5 or 6 year old, how long would you recommend straps be??
Honestly I would keep them as written because they are adjustable so you can fully tighten them and they’d still fit and allow them to grow into it. If all else fails, when you go to add the hardware, before securing them with rivets or stitching, try it on for size and shorten them if needed.
Can I ask is waterproof canvas the same as sailcloth canvas please ?
No I don’t believe it is. Another name is “pro tuff” from Walmart or “ottertex”. It has a plastic coated backing that makes it waterproof.
Where do you get your double sided tape from? I have a roll I bought from Joanns and some I got on Amazon and they both suck.
I use the leather tape from wawak 😀
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns thank you. I'm going over there to buy me some right now.
Hello, I was wondering if I buy this pattern can I make this out of vinyl on a dometic machine or am I asking for trouble???
I personally LOVE this backpack best in vinyl but I have an industrial machine. It really depends on your machine’s capabilities.
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns Thnak you so much, I will play around with layers and then try it out. Thanks
Hi! How do I start bag making? I would like to try making this bag, but, of course, need step-by-step instructions! I'm totally a beginner!
I sell the pdf version of this bag on my website Lindshandmade.com. It comes with the step by step instructions, printable pattern pieces, and a bajillion of pictures with each step 👍🏻
Hi ma'am, please I need the pdf pattern of this bag. Thanks
Could this be made with waterproof canvas and vinyl? Or would that be too much bulk?
Totally! I made one in all vinyl recently with the WPC liner and LOVED it!
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns Did you interface the vinyl? My gut says no it doesn't need it, but I'd be grateful to know for sure.
Hello again! Ok, one more thing. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to order the Juki 1181. Any tips on use of the machine? Or your favorite thread you use? I am really a beginner sewer so learning a new machine can be pretty daunting:) Especially when I am still learning my new domestic machine of only 2 years. 😀 Ellen
There’s a Fb group called “juki du 1181n owners” that you should join for allllllll the help and tips & tricks for this machine
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns Super. Thanks 😊
Where can you buy the pattern. I can't find it anywhere.
lindshandmade.com/collections/pdf-patterns/products/lindsport-mini-backpack-pdf-sewing-pattern
Could you use d rings instead of square ones
Sure. Go for it.
Where do I get the patterns

Is this a domestic machine friendly pattern?
Yes all my patterns are tested on a domestic machine but your choice of materials certainly make a difference.
I’m in love with the Mav pk!!!
Would this be too large for 6 year olds? The MAV I think would be too small.
It depends on its purpose. It’s too small for a school bag if that’s what you mean. It’s a great size for small books, snacks, toys etc. The Mav is also a great size for all ages but really depends on what you want to tote around. It was designed for adults in mind just wanting to carry the essentials.
Thanks
How can I get your patern pls
All my patterns can be found at lindshandmade.com 👍🏻
Where's the actual pattern?
All my patterns are available on my website. lindshandmade.com/collections/pdf-patterns/products/lindsport-mini-backpack-pdf-sewing-pattern
Why don’t you baste the gusset pieces before you stitch it to the exterior?
You certainly could! Just an added step I don’t personally do 🤷🏼♀️.
