A free PDF Sewing Pattern from HawthorneThreads

This free PDF rucksack/backpack sewing pattern is available for download from Hawthorne Threads with full step-by-step instructions from the first step to the very last.  The simplest form of a backpack is also known as the “rucksack“.  This rucksack is designed for girls and boys summer recreational activities – summer camp, hiking, swimming, picnic park, etc.  This rucksack offers an easily accessible roll-down top opening for a more compact carrying solution, or adjusted and stuffed to capacity.  If your little one’s will be carrying heavy objects with this rucksack, I suggest making padded shoulder straps (or sleeves)  with a minimal two-inch width.
