There’s nothing like the connivence of a backpack–hands free storage and organization. Honestly there is so much to love, but if you’ve never made one yourself, it can be an intimidating to undertake. With this video class, Sew Sturdy: The Essential Backpack, on Craftsy you can join designer Annie Unrein as she shows you how to carefully craft a backpack with pockets, zippered compartments, a magnetic flap and more. Her backpack is stylish and functional, and with her help you will create a professional quality bag ready for your next adventure.

Downloadable class resources, including a printable supply list and backpack cutting, quilting and assembly instructions are included with the essential backpack video class as well as direct access to Annie so you can ask her any questions you may have pertaining to the class.

THE ESSENTIAL BACKPACK DETAILS:

• Finished pack measures 12″ high, tapering in width from 10″ at bottom to 8″ at top, tapering in depth from 4″ at bottom to 2½” at top
