Old School Backpack 18" Doll Accessories Pattern

7 reviews   |  

The Old School Backpack is functional and trendy whether going to school, dance class, sleep overs or just looking awesome. It features a ton of options that are only limited by your imagination. The PDF sewing pattern features three pocket options: a zipper pocket, simple pocket, pocket with a flap; or keep it simple, and leave the pocket off. You have the choice of a trimmed or untrimmed main flap, a plastic buckle option with the zipper pocket or a buckle with leather/vinyl stop for all options.

This PDF sewing pattern by QTπ Pattern Co is designed to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl®.
