One of the things I get asked about the most is the Bustle Backpack. And after many requests for a school sized version of the ever popular bag, all I have to say is…
Your wish is my command.
Bustle Backpack by Me Sew Crazy
Thanks so much for stopping by, and until next time…
Happy Sewing!
This is soo cute! You are so talented, girl!
I’m curious about the circles – do you use felt or regular fabric? and if fabric how do you keep them from fraying?
This *is* cute! you should put it on sew set! j/k
Looks like I will be doing some sewing for my girls. And I have a 5 year old soon to be Kindergartner that will be so excited! Thanks! It was worth the wait.
This is so cute! Thanks for the school sized version! I wonder if I can get it done before school starts. 2 weeks and counting…
Wooohoo! Love the small one I made, and I’m excited about the thought of a school-sized one.
I just have one question…the pattern piece that says Fold fabric in quarters, line up the center and cut on folds, what is that piece for?..I know I am missing it, but can’t seem to understand how that piece fits in..Thank you very much for the school-size, I am making 3!!!
Thanks for your inquiry! There are two different size backpacks offered. The circle half pattern piece is for the accessory size. The quartered fold pattern piece is for the larger backpack version – both pattern pieces are the very bottom of the backpack, depending on which version you are making.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks again, Jess
So is the school sized smaller or larger than the original? Could you post a photo of both side by side please? I am so confused! Lol. I love this project but I just cant figure it out!
Great project, thank you so much for coming up with those terrific tutes! Is this a free pattern? It seems that is has to be downloaded through scribd and they’re charging $9?

I see there is no reply for Iris question.Do we have to pay. It says free. Love your work.Great tutorials and patterns.
Thank you Joyce. When I first started with Scribd, it was a free service. Since then, they have changed their policies. I am just sorry it has taken me so long to update this file and move it over to Google so that everyone can use it for free again. The link has been updated above.
