Bellaclip Backpack Pattern

$10.50

Bellaclip is a fun and functional backpack with several unique safety and user-friendly features.

Outside, there are 3 overlay options to choose from: folded edge, raw edge, or an overlay with a slim, hidden zippered pocket. The instructions show how to sew this on a flatbed machine, where you have limited access due to tight spaces. I reduced bulk everywhere possible to make this bag easy to put together on any type of sewing machine.

  • 12.5 x 10 x 4 inches
  • Fabric, tweed, waxed canvas, vinyl, cork, and leather (can mix & match)
  • Make webbing straps, or use one of the methods in my separate FREE Strap Guide

Features:

  • All about safety! Clip the front up to hide the zipper
  • Zipper pull is always against your back, for added safety
  • Up & over zipper lets you open the bag wide
  • 3 overlay options, including one with a zippered pocket
  • 3 interior slip pockets
