DIY Backpack - How to Make a Backpack

Sew it yourself! This Backpack Kit is a great project for someone just starting out with sewing and to practice their skills. In fact, it’s our most beginner-friendly project kit. The fabric comes pre-plotted so all you have to do is cut out the pieces and assemble the bag — no figuring out measurements or calculations! The backpack is made with Cordura® — a rugged and heavy-duty bag fabric. The backpack features a front pocket, two side pockets.
