This small backpack combines three different patterns. It comes with a loop so it can be attached to a large bag and used as an extra bag or pouch. The featured fabric is from the “pataco” series, showcasing three patterns in matching colors within 110cm width. With coordinated color tones, you can enjoy making bags and accessories by piecing fabrics together. It is 100% cotton sheeting.

We interviewed Mioko about her creation:
Kokka Fabric (KF): What did you think of the fabric you used for this project?
With three different patterns in one piece of textile with exquisite color matching, it’s a cute and useful material that can be coordinated by itself! I took advantage of this characteristic and made a mini backpack, arranging all three types of patterns to be visible.
KF: Can you tell us any special elements or ideas that you incorporated into this creation?
It is basically a drawstring bag, so it is surprisingly easy to make! It can be used as a pouch because it can hold things properly.
KF: What are some tips for making this bag?
When attaching the shoulder straps to the backpack flap, be careful not to misorient them. It is easier to work with if you hold them with temporary fabric glue.
KF: How should we incorporate this bag into one’s styling?
Using the loop, it can be attached to a large bag. It is also cute to put it through the belt loop of your child’s clothes.
KF: Thank you very much, Mioko! Here are sewing instructions along with step by step photos from her. Enjoy crafting!
