Great pattern, great attention to details in diagrams and directions. Looks great once made up!
Joanne –
truly a lovely backpack to make and enjoy. Swoon patterns are so well written and easily put together. Ignore the one ‘troll’ review
Rebecca Pinquoch –
This bag is a fan favorite and making it, it’s easy to see why. It goes together easily, the directions are clear, and if you are a visual learner there are 2 different videos on YouTube that will get you through it. The bag is very cute and the small version would be great as a child’s backpack. You do need to know how to operate your printer to get this pattern, so I guess for some, that could be a pitfall. If you don’t, this pattern alone is worth taking the time to do so.

Oh my word I can not say enough great things about this bag and pattern!! The finished bag is so gorgeous and unique looking, everyone always asks about it. It’s a challenging sew, but the directions are super clear and well written just like every other Swoon pattern. LOVE!! And so thankful I had the opportunity to purchase this finally as I’ve been swooning over this pattern since it was released.
