I'd pre-ordered this panel from Lady Sew and Sew several months ago, and it arrived in the post just before I want on my quilting retreat! Designed by Stacy Iest Hsu for Moda, this pre-printed panel has all the instructions to make a cute backpack, printed to look like a rocket...
...I've used a fusible fleece wadding, Vlieseline H630 to give a little bit of structure to the backpack - this has been fused onto the wrong side of both the front and the back of the main fabric. A neat fabric handle is stitched in place between the main body of the bag and the casing, and I've added some fusible fleece inside the handle too...

...the fabric drawstrings are also printed on the panel, and are inserted into the casing to keep the backpack closed. The star printed lining is also included on the panel...

...the bottom of the backpack has neat boxed corners, and loops for the drawstrings to go through before they're secured with a knot. There's even a fabric padded flame coming out of the base of the backpack!...

...this was such a simple backpack to make, the instructions were really easy to follow. This will be packed away for Christmas as it's a present for a very special little boy.
