ABOUT:
Hi, I'm Wendy, and I have been on a sewing journey ever since my mom taught me how to make little outfits for my dolls. I studied engineering and business, had an office job for two years, and then quit to embark on a lifelong sewing adventure on TH-cam. Subscribe to join me on the adventure, and maybe make your own clothing too! Thanks for watching ❤️

I made the backback!!! If anyone ever reads this comment, maybe you can learn from my experience. After a few days wearing the backpack, the little strap loops I had sewn into the bottom seam started to fray and to rip off the seam. I undid the seam and redid loops, but this time, I burned the end of the strap. It does not fray anymore! you should really do that! I only needed 1.5 meter of fabric (If you want to save a little money)Also if you are not as experienced as wendy, your seams may not be perfect: making the bag in a dark color hides every single mistake!!!
thanks! I'm making it rn but the fabric is a light colored material I thrifted it tho so i'm fine with that. i'm only a teenager but I have fairly decent sewing skills so ill see how I do. (lol probably trash)
What's the name of the fabric
Cupcake Glacage thank you for the advice💛
Omg kudos to anyone who's putting in that much work to make it. Bitcj I'm buying lmaoo
I’m gonna make this in school, thanks for the tips :))
I'm going to make a mini version of this for my dog
lil drews pizza aww how did it go?
OMG yes
Aww 🥰
Did it work?EDIT: just realised this is a one year old comment
This is the mini one anyway!!
I sent this to my mom and said "You could do this for me" and she answered "That's a DIY, you're supposed to Do It Yourself. "
*r/rareinsults*
That’s me as a mom
damn, looks like your mom woke up and chose violence
Wendy makes this process look so easy! I totally want to do this, but in the end I know I'll be left with a pile of fabric scraps and a puddle of tears rather than a backpack.
A lot of people have tried it, so if you're ever feeling brave I'm cheering you on!! I also have had the puddle of tears experience many times sigh
cutoffsandconverse lmaooo moooddd
Laugh it off, do it again. A bicycle was rarely ridden first time of trying.
Also make a smaller item with the scraps, or a quilted bag. Yea
I made this backpack! I am very much a beginner and made this backpack for my two year old son to switch him from a diaper bag. Yay for independence!
Woah you did that?!? did you have to redo anything? did you end up in tears?
I've been sewing for a little while but this is probably not the most beginner friendly project. probably best to attempt with a darker colored fabric and you'll probably end up taking several hours to make this.
How much seam allowance did you use?
@@TheQueenOfTheDamned1 most people recommend 2 cm seam allowance , but it's mostly personal preferences and how much fabric you have
where are the dimensions though
i have no sewing skills or knowledge but this is real cute!!
But Jungkook can do ANYTHINGGG
+팬태형 armyyyyys my chingus
Heyyyyy^^
ikr its so cutee
omg fam
am i the only one who enjoy to watch this kind of things but never make this
LMAO same hhhh
SHAWN
Hhhhhh like me
I'm definitely one of those people! I won't ever make this, I just don't really need it, but I love watching it being made. It's oddly calming?
Yes, of course you are the only one.
Love the tutorial. I was just commissioned by my nine-yo granddaughter to make her a mini-backpack. Can't wait to try this one and I am infinitely grateful to you for not including needless chitchat and endlessly excruciating chatter and unsolicited details about things nobody cares about. I love how you dove right in and went fast.
I'm so happy I found a tutorial that isn't crap on making the backpack. thank you for taking the time to make this and all the work you put into making it comprehensible. ^_^
Thank you so much!!
withwendy my heart stopped when you replied. You're really cool and I love all the stuff you make!!!
withwendy thank you . hellow withwendy👏👏👏👏✋✋✋👐👐
I did not see the detentions in the description
Saw in recommended, subbed before the video started, I am at awe of true craftsmanship alike.
Same 😅
Same! The aesthetic of your video was also wonderfully minimalistic. I love your eye for design. Hello from your newest subscriber from Ohio!
AHHHHH SAME! 😘😛

My 13 year old daughter followed these directions and made an amazing mini backpack! Thank you! Wish I could post a pic!
I made this! I'm so proud of myself ~ I took me a week due to some design change and struggling to sew on the front pocket. I added a side pouch as well as a hidden zipper pocket inside the backpack. My backpack it two layers thick which is why I struggled a bit. The outside uses a thin beige fabric while the inside is a thicker white cotton fabric for durability and design sake. The shoulder straps I made to look like regular backpack with padding. I decorated it with lace ribbons, bows and fabric flowers I made. The result is a beautiful designed and cute mini backpack. Thanks for the video!
please show us a picture :)
Please show a pic! I'd love to see it!
I like how we can make this ANY colour we want and adjust the size
Yeah! And you can mis-match the strap colours with the bag, or make the pocket an accent colour, the power is yours!
SO SO GOOD! You inspire me so much Wendy! I love sewing but I always get a lack of inspiration because a lot of sewing projects out there are not very modern or trendy. But you totally change the game!! Please never stop!
I totally understand! a lot of tutorials are old, or the stuff that they make isn't really fashionable anymore. or even when they use ugly fabrics it just makes the projects look old.
Malini Chandra you should also sub to Annika Victoria if you like this channel
Do U think for the the top thingie handle I can use shoelaces?
I don't own a sewing machine so I'm probably not going to make this but it was so soothing to watch! And really made me want to hunt down my mum's old sewing machine... This might also be cute using mismatched recycled materials from old clothes maybe?
she has the dimensions on her website for a bigger bag. i'm making the small one rn but just as a small bag for day trips not for school or anything.
Just Deenie that’s a good idea!especially if you gave it a more pleated effect-definitely cheaper than buying some kinds of fabric velvet can be $45 a meter!(but it’s just so beautiful)lol
if you want it to be durable, you have to use materials like jeans or similar
I'm not from the US, everytime she says "yard" I actually imagine a yard as in "the back garden of a house" haha
Even as an American, I think the same thing lol
*goes to school dragging a backpack on the ground on a 50 meter long leash*
i dont know why im watching this, im never gonna make a fucking backpack lol
bro same i don't even have a sewing machine 😂
Same :p
samejjjkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
devilwithwings then get out because we don't want you here. I SAID OUT!! NOW!!!😡😡😡😤😤😤
Bellaroo_ Girl psss relax, just because she is never going to make it doesn't mean she doesn't like the video or doesn't want to know how to make it. Take it easy~ and don't lash out on people like that. Its bad for your health ya kno.
I'm almost done with mine!! just have to attach the side panel. :)
THAT IS AMAZING
+withwendy I finished it!! The second one should look better though. ;)
You should upload a picture! :D
+Mary .Mary it's in my IG @sewmemaybe :)
Love that you have your own label
The backpack looks so well done! I'm glad to see some actually using a sewing mashine and not just hot glue. :D
Keep up the good work!
People use hot glue because it’s convenient and easy for younger people like me. I hope you understand. 😊
"I'm going to show you the school supplies that are fit in this little backpack."
*shows phone*
Joanna Unabia lmao with all the kahoot and quizlet live games we play in my classes, you could consider phones to be a school supply
iKON's wifeu ok? I was talking about my school, not yours.
Ollie Rowan lol that’s lucky u are able to use phones in ur school
I mean where's the lie
Well, in my school we have pdfs of our textbooks on phones 😊
"if you're still watching.." Who wouldn't??! This is soooo satisfying..!! Thank you so much just for existing in this world.
After watching this .. I am just going to buy a backpack ..
*lol hhhh*
LMAOO RIGHT
takwa dhaoui makes me sad thinking about the child factory workers in the 3rd world countries sewing clothing and bags like this and earning not more than a few cents per day.
RIGHT and it makes me appreciate all the backpacks that exist because no machine can do this, only human hands can. Totally justifies all the ones that are super expensive.
+Takwa Dh Hi army!
HER NAILS😍😍😍💛

I made this bag in the dimensions of the actual kanken and have been using it for school! I am now making a mini version for a Christmas gift.
omg u just made a kanken out of nothing. SKILLS
Out of nothing? I noticed there was a few materials lol.
EllaTheGhost there were no instruction manuals, templates, or anything handed to her ready. she made it out of her own dimensions and pieces.
its possible she may have done research to help her figure it out. regardless, her skills are amazing.
She even made her own wedding dress
I'm going to try this! I've always wanted a mini backpack for when I go to concerts and stuff. The one I have is too old and is falling apart, and all the mini backpacks I've found are like $100 dollars.
iamthequiet i wanna try it really bad too, Kånken is honestly way too expensive
I found one, and its a cute gray cat one ^^
But I dont know how to spell the store name -_-
LiLi Ridez Where'd you get it at?
I got a really good one from forever 21 for $30
Who else watches all these DIYs but never gets the ass up to do it?
Me I mean I feel like doing but then again I am lazy
Hobi ThePotato Me
Me I have no time for such projects xD
Bts
Hobi ThePotato meee😅
I wish I had a sewing machine because it'd be cool when people askw where did i buy it and id tell them I made it!!
That's also another reason why like sewing, to have the amazed look as I say I made it. Also sewing your own clothes or accessories help the environment with recycled fabrics and gives you freedom to make your clothes more unique 💫
You should get one!! they are amazing and you don;t need to buy the $600 ones just start with a $50 one and see if you get the hang of it ( but it's hard to not break the needles when you start lol )
lol I know that this is like... super late, but my sowing machine is 15 dollars, and I literally do everything with it. You don’t need something expensive
Hand sewing is a thing? That's what I use.
@@MariamAhmed-nj4nz where did you get it? I'd like to get a sewing machine but I'm still looking 😊
omg!!!!this is really helpful!!!! i mean i've watched some other sewing tutorial videos, but this one is THE BEST EVERRR!!! everything is concise and clear. i can learn how to make a cool backpack even if i know nothing about tailoring! literally, this is really amazing!!!thx for sharing and being such a genius wendy!!!😘
That makes me so happy! Thank you!!

THIS BACKPACK IS THE CUTEST THING EVER THANK YOU I SAVE $60 NOW
I made the backpack using one of those blue IKEA bags that you can get a t the checkout. The plastic/fabric is more than enough to create this backpack, however I recommend getting two bags for the straps. The straps on one bag combine to two meters, but you need over 2,5 meters to make this bag. I will have to add some extra strapping to mine so I can actually put the backpack on :'). You could always use the remaining plastic/fabric as a lining for another project to make it waterproof! If you want to do the same I would suggest you do this if you have a bit more experience (= you've already made a few projects). The stiff plastic makes it even harder to sew the corners and once you have sewn a stitch you can't undo it invisibly, you've poked a lasting hole in the fabric. Don't be scared to do it anyways however! This is a very fun project to make and in my opionion it looks really cool to use an IKEA bag like this :). Let me know if you are trying this too, maybe we can share experiences!
UPDATE: I FINISHED THIS BACKPACK 4 YEARS AFTER STARTING IT 😂 I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT
YOU ARE A GENIIUS! HOPEFULLY I MAKE MY SON ONE! SERIOUSLY ITS BEAUTIFUL
Two things: I will never not find foreigners trying to pronounce Swedish funny. I feel bad for you guys, but you seemed like you had fun making this, and that's what counts! Second, I love the new edit details, with the speed-up and sound effects. Very well done!
You feel bad for people making an effort to pronounce language which is completely unfamiliar to them?
+Aemort Well, yes, since I remember my own, still somewhat persisting, struggles with English.
i think she means that she can sympathise with them. I don't think she meant "feel bad for them" in a mocking way :)
well sorry that english-native speakers can't pronounce Swedish words
Brianna Awesome Castillo Chocolate why do people always assume something is meant to be hurtful and mocking... I sincerely feel bad for her because I personally feel extremely self-conscious when I can't pronounce something, which is often. And I know Swedish is hard to prnounce for English-speakers. So I empathize with that potential struggle, and am happy she seemed to have fun.
Even tho this was 4 years ago
But I love it
I’m gonna ask my mom so I can try to make it
Thank u for making an effort explaining these steps for the viewers to understand
😊👏🏻👏🏻
this is an amazing tutorial but...what highlighter u wearing....?
"Fjallraven conken" In love when people who's not swedish talks some swedish
@millennial falcon It really isn't :P
What would be a better transliteration? Just outta curiosity
Me when I try to say Pewdiepie merch brands
Amanda how do you pronounce it? im super curious haha :)
ä is like “eh”
å is like “oh”
for the 2 head zipper, just buy upholstery zips from walmart.. I have them and it's just a super long zipper with extra heads so you can cut to size
Amazing tip! Thank you!!
+withwendy np Wendy. thanks for this video, it honestly saved me from having to buy a backpack. 😆😁
This was recommended by YT and I realized this was the 1st video I watched of you!!! I'm literally a fan for 5 years now. 😅😅🥰
I recreated this today.It took forever but I love how it turned out 👍👍👍
Cool
what were the dimensions though
This is amazing! Just a little to confusing for me. (The sewing)
Omg you should sell these on etsy because I'll buy it lmao
i’m currently in the process of upcycling an old pair of jeans into a backpack inspired by this!! thanks so much!!
Wendy : How to make expensive backpack
Video : Seems easy
Me : spends enough money to buy the backpack and fails each time
OHMYGODDD you're amazing I never understand how people like you spend so much time to make things like this ❤️❤️ I watched the whole 12 minutes without even realizing it 😂😂 just subbed I love ur channel
WTF THIS IS AMAZING
I am just love how your tutorials are done. So well lite, easy to hear, not muffled, and clear described.
I started sewing 2 days ago, and this is my end goal, I can't wait to make it 🤩 your sewing videos are amazing and visually satisfying haha, but more important : it's clear enough for a beginner non-native English speaker like me to follow! Thank you for all you do 💛
Same here! I was a beginner and had only made face masks the first time I followed this tutorial and English is not my native language either. I'm curious, did you do it? If not, you should try it!
@@manuelafloresdealmeida2991 Not yet, but it's on my sewing projects list haha! Did you?
Cam Rub Yesss, I already made three of them! I’m only having trouble with the adjustors, they keep sliding :// but I’m going to figure it out
@@manuelafloresdealmeida2991 Oh my god 3! I'm jealous! I have to get to it asap 😂
you're legit one of the best diy youtubers, your products are always so neat and cute and high quality
thank you so much for your content wendy ❤️👌🏻
You are a genius, i would have never figure out how to do it!!
I'm late to the party on this one but I love this pattern. Supplies ordered and thought I'd search and watch a video for it. Glad I found you. Nice 2 zipper idea. I paid 12 for my zipper alone. Could've just used 2 zippers. Thanks for sharing. Yours turned out so nice.
and I just made this again. I'm addicted to this project! I went to hobby lobby and there are some super fun fabrics so I am going to make some of these for friends! it's a really awesome toddler backpack!
omg this is perfect for toddlers, they probably look so cute on them.
Finally made my very own backpack! I went with a mini style and tried to be concise, but let me know if you have any questions and I'll be here to chat! If you're heading back to school, I wish you the very best!! BE AMAZING
I'm so happy for this tutorial!!
ME TOO YOU HAVE NO IDEA
Love ittt, thank you so much 💓💓💓
THIS IS SO AWESOME. I've been waiting for someone to make a cool backpack tutorial. I needed one for travelling earlier, and this will be amazing! Thank you!
hi, Im grace I love your content/videos they're so inspiring thank you for the tutorials! I have one question what are the measurements because I don't see them in the description? (sorry 😕)
This is super cute! This project is too advanced for me, but you are incredible at explaining things. I'm learning a lot watching this, and I've saved the video so that I can revisit it when I have more sewing experience under my belt :)
i'm comparing this diy backpack to the fjallraven kanken that i own and i'm so incredibly impressed with your attention to detail!! there are so many things that you included that i never noticed about my backpack
I'm watching some of your videos, and all I keep saying is; "she's good, she's bloody good, wow" So there you are. You truly are amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your knowledge with us. You make some lovely items. Thank You.
This is so freaking cute. I love it
Wendy you Angel! I've wanted one of these backpacks for so long!
wow....so much patience and... just WOW GOOD JOB DUDE
You're the Bob Ross of Sewing. Relaxing the masses with vicarious inspiration. Simply lovely.
Watching this is torture, I don't even own a sewing machine >.
same
lol i feel you
my sewing machine is twice as old as I am and I could never even hope for it to be able to sew something like this lol
lmaooo I have a 30-sum year old White brand and I'm debating whether to try this or not
Mina Nazari actually older sewing machines tend to be stronger, since they were made in a time where they were used intensively. I have a newer Singer machine that went crazy and wouldnt sew through even one layer of my (to be fair, pretty thick) fabric. Tried it with my grandma's 40 year old soviet made machine and it did well even at the points where i had a 4-layer strap sandwiched by a layer of the same fabric on each side!
your channel remindes me so much of my mom she loved creating cloths and everything with her sewingmachine when i was young she alwayd made me beautifull stuff :) watching your videos is like meditation to me its so sad those skills are getting lost more and more bc of cheap clothing shops ect.
Glad I found this. I know most rather just buy one but when u just cant find the right color and nice fabric this is the way to go! I like to have something that's custom and unique. Make it to my liking. Thank you!!
I'm so glad you found it too! Making something custom and unique is the joy of it :)
im a fashion student and im glad i found this tutorial as it has inspired me to make this backpack and add a bit of my own flare to it.
Umm wow she is co creative 💕💕💕💕
All your creations are super cute & so practical Wendy, ty 💟😊
i've never sewed a day in my life and i'm not entirely sure why i'm watching this, but it's really cute and i really want to make it!
Came across this video again, this was when I first out about your channel! How amazing to see you grow from there and how far everything’s come! Helps me think about how far I’ve gone as well!
this made me really want to learn how to sew oh my gosh that's such a good skill to have
That was awesome! Thank you!
Thank you! I’ve been looking for a pattern/tutorial on making a customized backpack. This will be easy to modify to the sizes I need. Very well done tutorial. For those who think it’s too fast, the pause button is your friend!
what did you do to modify the size did you just add a couple more inches to each piece of fabric and zipper? I am trying to sew the classic size.
@@ambotnimooi I am making travel bags to fit in a specific space. I haven't done it yet, but my plan is to make the front and back (my "space" is a little narrower at the top on one side). I don't have the measurements in front of me, but I think the long strip is the measurement all the way around the front/back, plus one inch for the seam. My widths will also be different, to fit my space - width/depth + 1" for seams. I'm also going to make a longer zipper (we'll use these as travel suitcases so I'd like them to open completely to the bottom), and add a few pockets. This is number 4 on my sewing projects list. Hoping that I can do it soon!
Summers coming up and I can't wait to try out some of this kind of stuff
LOOKS SO GEWWWWWDD!
FINALLY GOT IT DONE
God this tutorial is literally iconic. Sewing legend 👌🏼😭
Am I the only one that absolutely LOVES her voice?? Like idek it's just soothing and so pretty!!
I already made two of them and I plan on making more for my friends who want it too! Thank you so much for this tutorial, I am at the very beginning of my sewing journey and I can't believe what I am already capable of thanks to you!
Also, each backpack costed about 5% of the price of an original Fjällräven Kånken to make, I think that's kind of amazing
Would you say it's easy as a beginner
Ruby Fincher no, I wouldn’t say it’s easy, the first one was actually pretty difficult, but it’s possible! I just don’t recommend it as your absolute first project. but besides that it was a great challenge!
You are so talented! 😍😍
Hey Wendy I finally got my sewing Machine!!!!! and Im so excited to do project off your tutorials! can you make a video dedicated to different needles, presser foots and threads :D :D thank you much love
Your Video was so inspiring that I made one for my work. Mine is about the double in size, inspired by your grid organizer I included this as well to make dividers. Instead of using two zippers I used an endless zip integrating two pulls. That 's quite a cheap alternative to an two pull zip. This rucksack is packed with a loooooot of things and does a brilliant job! Thank you!
Its actually really intresting to see how a backpack is made
GURL! THIS IS SO GOOD! You're so inspiring! Im gonna give this a try in a matte black vinyl leather!!
Matte black vinyl wowwwww
Your videos always make me want to start designing and making new things, thanks for the inspiration!
Stop apologising for the lenght! It's brilliant! Fascinating to watch. Super video!
Ahh, thankyou for this! I'm just learning to hand embroidery atm and i don't have a machine but this bag is my goal by the end of next year. I never thought i'd be able to do it but your videos make it look fun and show that i can actually make things id love! Thankyou thankyou thankyou!!
Really need to practice my sewing before I attempt something like this, but I loved this video. Thank you
ugh i love this !
i want you to teach me how to sew so i can make this in like ... every color 😅❣
Yesss
I just bought a sewing machine a few months ago and I decided to make this yesterday. I did end up with a bag, but it is a different bag haha. I couldn’t for the life of me make that front pocket, but other than that! Totally have a backpack(: thanks so much! I’m going to try again later!
You make this look so easy!! Wonderful job. The bag came out beautifully!
so cute :) i love bags and backpacks haha thanks for the zipper flap trick! never knew how to do it :)
I was planning on using this for travelling
This tutorial is a lifesaver! Currently making a mini/laptop (iPad sized) franken-Kanken and this vid has been so useful as I’ve been making my pattern pieces!
I was sceptical about this particular video. But dear... it was great! Thanks for sharing & I'll try mine!
I mean... Im not gonna make this... but I am so impressed *_*
First video I see from you, I LOVE it. Subbed! You seem like such a nice person!
Really enjoy your editing too :)
Quiet Mind ditto!!
I made one myself and followed this tutorial. English isn't my mother language but i would say you did a pretty good job in explaining. Although I would say this isn't really a beginner's project. So people watch out if you're a beginner. This takes some time and she makes it look like it's super easy.
I'm modifying this a little to make myself a new pack for my feeding tube pump!
So hyped to have come across your channel, subscribed for sure! Loved this so much xx.
WHOA! This is so cute!
Thanks K&P!! :)
legit never sewn anything on a sewing machine and I made this backpack, it doesn't look like hers but I'm pretty impressed with how it turned out so I recommened trying it out.
I made this today... and for someone who's never sewn before, it actually turned out pretty good lol.
