Today we are extremely excited to work with a brand new and extremely talented contributor!  Kate, of the fresh DIY sewing blog See Kate Sew, is with us today to share an uber cool knapsack.  This cutie is super hip for the guys and the girls.  Our Flight collection is the perfect backdrop for a unisex knapsack, don't you think?  Now I introduce to you, the Take Flight Knapsack!

Hi! Kate here from see kate sew! I was thrilled to test out the new Flight line in knit. I was filled with inspiration as I sewed with it, I can't stop thinking of things to make! My 3 year old son loves it, too! He calls the birds "airplanes" which I think is cute! They do look a little like airplanes!

This is such a great gender neutral fabric. I made this knapsack for my boy because he loves carrying stuff around, mostly dirt and trains. I hope he'll use this for trains and NOT dirt, but we see I guess!

Sew triangle pieces together with right sides together. Leave one edge open. Trim seam allowance and turn. Repeat so you have two triangles.

Baste triangles to back/flap piece where indicated on pattern piece. Triangles will face inwards.

Now sew the front piece to the back piece. The sides and bottom will be in the middle and the flap will extend beyond the side pieces.

Repeat steps 2-7 with lining pieces, omitting the triangles. Sew twill tape to the top of the flap. Turn the main piece inside out. Keep the lining right side out.

Put the lining inside of the main backpack piece so that the right sides are facing. Line up the open edges and pin together. Then sew all the way around, leaving a 2-3" opening on the front to turn.

To make the loop, fold in half longways and sew at the side. Trim seam allowance and turn. Repeat the same steps for both strap pieces.

Sew the straps and loop to the back of the backpack. Turn ends under 1/2" and sew in a rectangle to hold well. The bottom of the straps will be aligned on the sides of the backpack.

  2. Hiya! I really enjoyed making this but I can't make my corners look fab when joining seams to make bottom of the bag. I think I'm missing a trick, does anyone have a link for sewing corners? I can only find boxed corners but this doesn't seem to be the same? Thanks

  27. København har mange bagere. Danskerne elsker brød af bindia frederiksberg forskellige slags. Nogle af bagerne har endda lavet et internationalt gennembrud, AS Ole og Steen, Emmery Meyers. Men problemet er, at de blev til store. Hartbageri på Frederiksberg gør alt på plads. Det er langt det bedste i København nu. Jeg håber kvaliteten vil forblive ligesom, og ingen smartguys fra en kapitalfond kommer ind og forsøger at ændre de gode gamle traditioner. det tager tid at lave fremragende brød og thstvis hvad de gør ved Hart
