When it comes to creating something as special as your own backpack (or one to gift), it's natural to pause and consider whether it's the right choice for you. But imagine the satisfaction of carrying a bag that you crafted yourself, or seeing the delight on a loved one's face when you gift them something they will use and treasure. This kit offers precisely that opportunity, thoughtfully designed to guide you through every step, even if you're new to sewing. With clear instructions and all the materials included, the Sunsetridge Backpack Kit removes the guesswork and lets you focus on the joy of creating.
Don't have all the right bag-making supplies? The Sunsetridge Backpack Kit comes with everything you need: a preprinted fabric panel, lining and binding fabric, interfacing, Bosal fusible foam for structure, woven labels, thread for bagmaking, and even materials to make the bonus accents. We also stock complete Sunsetridge Hardware Kits, which include nylon coil zipper, zipper pulls, D-rings, slide buckles, and cotton webbing.
The Sunsetridge Backpack Kit is designed for flexibility—work on it in short sessions or dedicate a weekend to sewing. You'll find that the process is manageable and a relaxing, creative escape. Ongoing access to the video tutorial plus the physical and digital pattern means you can sew along at your own pace.
