The Planetary Backpack is a relaxed drawstring backpack with a top cover flap and an easy access outer front pocket. A midsized backpack perfect for a trip to the park or all the essentials needed for your little one’s first trip to outer space! The main bag is accessed via the circular top flap and drawstring closure. There an outer pocket secured with a snap fixing and internally a simple patch pocket.
The tutorial contains a template to add your own “MARS” applique to the top flap. Check out the PLANETARYsewalong blogpost here for inspo and PLANETARYhack tutorials on adding piping to your bag, a padded back and simplified drawstring casing.
