Nursery Backpack: free PDF sewing pattern
With this free PDF pattern you can sew a small, practical nursery backpack for taking a child to school, to the childminder, on a day out or for the weekend.
The design is thought of as a soft little satchel: a red bag in the spirit of the Couture Enfant tutorial, with a flap, a handle, straps and an appliqué star on the front. Its size suits everyday little things: a change of clothes, a comforter, a snack or a small notebook.
📄 What this free pattern includes
- the full-size pattern, available in French, English, German and Spanish;
- three paper formats: A4 for French, German and Spanish, and A4 plus US Letter for English;
- the material list and illustrated step-by-step instructions;
- a 5 cm test square (and 1 inch on the US Letter version) so you can check the print is at 100%.
What you need
- 80 cm of cotton twill across the width.
- 50 cm of coloured cotton across the width.
- Some fusible sequin fabric for the decorative appliqué.
- Your usual sewing kit.
Approximate dimensions
The finished bag measures about 25 × 25 cm. The perimeter of the bag is given as about 67 cm in the tutorial notes.
