- This DIY kid’s backpack sewing tutorial will take you step-by-step through the process of making a custom backpack. The main backpack body measures 14” tall x 11” wide x 4” deep; it is smaller than the average backpack, yet still holds standard sized notebooks and folders. It is perfect for kindergarten and other elementary aged children; or anybody that prefers a smaller backpack.

Jenn Albers what kind of fabric you have used?
Hello Paige, I absolutely love this backpack you designed for your daughter! My granddaughter is starting kinder this fall and I had been searching for a backpack to make for her, luckily I found your channel! Thank you so much for sharing your awesome talents with us, and most of all for your time! By the way, the baby in the back ground bouncing around was precious!
Blessings to you and yours

Hi Paige! You are absolutely a delight to watch and adorable to boot! I flipping love utube and it’s wonderful tutorials....totally helped me navigate the pandemic 😉however my husband never sees me anymore 😂😂😂my stepdaughter and granddaughter are moving to Florida in a month and she is teaching first grade and granddaughter is going into kindergarten and I cannot wait to try and make this for her! I am going to be the annoying grandma making a bunch of stuff for them! Thank you for the clear and enjoyable tutorial! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thank you for such a great video and pattern! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. I went out and purchased the supplies and I'm looking forward to starting this project tonight (-:
That's so exciting! I'd love to see it.
@@PaigeHandmade I finished them! I love them. I post them on instagram and you'll see them. I added a zipper flap to the top zipper also. Thank you so much.
In school there is a competion there i want to stich this bag .i can make it with needle and thread. best bag
Did you ever write a pattern Paige? It is very difficult even with your great instructions to stop/start/stop/start/rewind/start. I’d love to just have it on paper to follow.
Thank you for your tutorial! I’m stuck though... how is the pocket sewn onto the front once it’s pinned down?
Straight onto the front. Stitch right along the edge at 1/8" from the folded edge of the pocket.
I love this backpack. Where do I get the measurements for the patterns, please?
I got 1st prize IN BAG MAKING. BUT I MADE IT WITH FOAM SHEET BY YOUR METHOD . I GOT GOLD MEDAL.
Wonderful! Congratulations on your work being awarded 1st place.
Paige Handmade what is the name of this fabric? What kind of fabric you have used for make this wonderful backpack?
prince Nadar did you used big size foam sheet for make this bag?
Outdoor canvas.
Paige Handmade please tell me the name of the fabric
V good
Hie, your video is really helpful.. thanks
Can you show how to sew all side quilted ( not just back ) backpack??
So cute! What kind of fabric?
Wonderful tutorial. I’m going to make three for my grandsons in Kindergarten and 1st grade. Commercial backpacks are too huge.
Have fun! 💕
Love the bag . what is the seam " you use?
1/2" I believe.
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I dont speak English very well, but I found your tutorial is not difficult to follow. Can't wait to see more videos. You deserve more views and more subscribers 👍
I'm glad it was easy to follow. Thank you for the compliment!
Just curious, do you join the pocket onto the front of the backpack from the outside with top stitching or inside of the pocket? I can’t quite tell from the video.
Topstitching very close to the edge.
You are such a beautiful lady... the voice, the expressions, the all.
Would love to know what kind of material you used? I am new at sewing. I was wondering if you used 100% cotton and was the lining some kind of plastic?
It is outdoor fabric from JoAnn. The lining is a simple silky polyester (inexpensive). Just use something slightly sturdy for the main fabric and something lightweight on the inside.
جيد
What type of fabric is your main fabric
I appreciate your video, but I am unable to find the description box. Could you list the measurements for each fabric piece? Also, did you use canvas for your main fabric?
Below the video there is a description area; you may have to click "show more". Also, the link to all the measurements is this one: paigeinablanket.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/backpack.pdf Yes, the fabric is an outdoor canvas. My daughter used it for her entire kindergarten school year and it hung on the outside hooks and it held up very well.
Hi, will u mind to share how big of main fabric u used in this project?
In this PDF file you will find all the size information you will need. paigeinablanket.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/backpack.pdf
Hii mam
The video is amazing 😍😍
But there is a one problem I can't open the link for measurements which you have given in description section
Please do reply
Thank you for the video 😊do you think you can make a lunch box for kids tutorial😁?
I will definitely add it to my idea list, but for now I will say that I would construct it similarly to this, just a medium square shape. At a fabric store you can find insulation material to sew in between the outer fabric and a waterproof lining.
@@PaigeHandmade I would love to see a matching lunchbox tutorial too. I made the book bag and it turned out wonderful! My daughter loves it :)
You didn't show on the video what to do with the zipper endings? Do I need them simply cut off ? Btw Love your videos all of them I'am beginner and I have learned a lot from your sewing channel. 😍
You can trim the end of the zipper if you need to. Just secure it with a few stitches so it doesn't come apart.
For that outer fabric used in the video, did you use outdoor fabric for durability? Would another fabric also ok to use? If so, what would you recommend to use?
Outdoor fabric for durability and texture. I would use fabric that is medium/heavy or apply an interfacing if it is lighter. Any canvas type material would be my recommendation.
Paige Handmade okay, thank you! This will be my first ever project so I am learning so much about different fabrics and stitches. Thanks for having everything in one place so it’s easy to follow! I will definitely be adding a pic on your Instagram so you can see the final products wonky or not lol.
@@jenniferbarrios1840 You totally can do it! I'm so excited to see it. My biggest tip is to take it slowly and use pins. Never underestimate the helpfulness of pins.
Paige Handmade how was the pocket sewn on lol I’m struggling getting the pins to stay to sew it on
@@jenniferbarrios1840 You will sew the pocket directly onto the backpack front. Position the pocket with binding folded under, pin it onto the main front piece, and stitch it down to the main front. Does this make sense?
This may be a silly question, but if I decided to use quilters cotton fabric , & quilted the whole thing, could I get away with not using that lining fabric or changing the fabric measurements? So basically the end product would be a quilted backpack. Or would I need to try a completely different method?
You can definitely change anything you want to! I used the lining so it would be more durable and slippery on the inside. I think your idea would be very cool. It just might wear a little faster because it is made of cotton (and there's nothing wrong with that). I'd say go for it and have fun!
@@PaigeHandmade thank you so much for the reply! I just recently got into quilting, and I must say, I’m obsessed with it, and the idea of a quilted backpack. I’m interested to see how it all works out. Maybe I can tag you in my finished product on instagram?
Absolutely! I would love to see it.
would love to make this, but find no link at all for pattern cutting.

This is a wonderful pattern, enjoying making this as an Xmas present. Question regarding zipper installation, are you actually sewing across the zipper teeth? It's hard to tell from the video. And if you ever publish written instruction, I'd relish them! This Gramma has a hard time manipulating the video.
When I sew across zipper teeth I focus on the zipper tape and *slowly and turning the wheel by hand* maneuver between the zipper teeth, and then back into the tape. Does that make sense? Do whatever you are comfortable with that works for you. Glad you are enjoying it!
Hey wait, I'm Paige!
Hi Paige.. do u have the bigger size pattern?
No, but it can be adjusted to be bigger by adding an inch or two to make it taller or wider.
This was a great project, but I wish there had been more guidance. For example, when showing how to put on the fist zipper stop, it would have been nice had you said something like, “We’ll take care of the other zipper stop a little later.” I thought I had missed something. So fashioned my own second zipper stop only to have to rip it all out. I think with the fabric I chose, I should have put in some fusible lining for better support. You might have suggested that. It also might have helped to actually watch how you sewed up some of the more difficult parts. Better close-up shots of what something should look like once sewn. Lastly, choose a lining fabric that has an obvious right and wrong side. That was very frustrating. My nieces backpack turned out pretty good. Can’t wait to make her another one with corrections.
I appreciate your feedback. Thank you for the examples. This was my first video uploaded onto TH-cam. I try my best to improve them as I go. I'm glad it turned out nicely.
Thank you so much for your video and a wonderful tutorial!!! If you don't mind me asking would you please be able to help me? I am needing to make this backpack for a toddler, could you please help me size it down to toddler size?
I can't give exact measurements but for every inch you shorten the height of the backpack you will need to shorten the zipper panels by two inches. For every inch you decrease the width of the backpack you will decrease the length of the bottom panel by one inch. I hope this is helpful.
Paige Handmade thank you so much! Yes it does !
Paige Handmade one more question if you don’t mind? How much do I take off for the pocket in the front? Is it the same as the zipper? Two inches? The pocket side
Please and thank you?!?
Your comment was in my spam folder for some reason and I am only seeing it now. I hope you were able to figure out the pocket sizing. I would have recommended making it slightly smaller; maybe an inch from the height and width.
you are so cute darling ❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing 💼💼
What fabric are you using?
Outdoor fabric. It can be made in many different types of fabrics. Choose medium to heavyweight for durability.
i wanna try for my kids..omg..can i make this😂😂😂i"m soo beginner
How would one adjust the measurements in order make this bag for an adult and 2nd /3rd grader?
Let's see... If you want to make it wider then add 1-2 inches of width to the body and side bottom. You may want to make the pocket a little wider too. Then if you want to make it taller, then you can add 1-3 inches to the body and straps. You'll have to double the additional inches for the side top pieces. Example, if you add 2" height to the body, then add 4" to the side top length. Again, you may want to increase the pocket height. // Also, you can refer to the size of your favorite backpack; just add an inch for seam allowances (0.5" all around). I hope this helps!
@@PaigeHandmade yes thank you so much for this! Do you think I would be able to disassemble one of my old ones and make a template/pattern with that?
Yes, that would be fun to do. Take detailed notes as you disassemble it and some photos to go along if there are specific techniques you want to replicate.
@@PaigeHandmade ok perfect..I'm new its very overwhelming but I have to just jump in and do it and try not to get discouraged. Thanks again.
@@PaigeHandmade Thank you for this, I too will be making it a little bit bigger for a 1st and 3rd grader to be able to fit lunch and a jacket if needed.
What needle size do you use for this?
Try a 90/14 from a "universal" pack of needles.
@@PaigeHandmade thanks!!!
Are there pockets on the side?
No, but someone shared with me that they added pockets. You would sew it on before attaching the front and back.
Thank you!
very nice tutorial 👌.. but pattern link is not opening.. please share it again.
Can you provide measurements to include side pockets?
I don't have measurements for side pockets on hand. You can look at pocket styles you like and practice making them with the measurements on the worksheet. With sewing you learn a lot through practicing and experimenting.
What is the name of this fabric?
Cant get the measurement on the below link can you please share
paigeinablanket.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/backpack.pdf
I am not able to access the measurement page. Can someone help?
Is that a waterproof fabric
It is outdoor canvas. Not waterproof.
Thank you Paige. Do you think a wadding will work?
For the padding?
@@PaigeHandmade yes
I imagine you can use it. Don't use too much; you don't want it to be too thick. I would also quilt a 2" square/diamond pattern to keep it from shifting around. Remove any that gets in the seam allowance area to reduce bulk.
Wait, is the size in inches or centimeters?
Inches
Do you have the instructions written down to follow along with the tutorial?
I do not have them written. If I ever make another one I would like to document it for a written blog post.
Make bags for college girls
you could absolutely use this for college, I know i def am, at least on my light days
Do you have any measurements.
