This backpack is simple, comfortable and original. It can be sewn from natural or artificial leather or dense fabric, and the decor can be chosen to your liking!
Such a backpack can be made of genuine or artificial leather, using a suitable color or contrasting fabric as a lining. The role of the straps here is played by a thick lace - you can replace it with a thin leather strap. Large wooden beads are needed as limiters and a decorative element - in fact, knots on a cord or strap are enough. In a word, options are possible.
Sew a striped backpack
You will need:

- lining fabric;
- a pair of pieces of leather (here it is better to use natural) for loops;
- a cotton cord or thin strap (strip of genuine durable leather) for the straps;
- eyelets (with a hole size such that the cord / strap passes well through it);
- a device for installing eyelets;
- a device for punching holes in the skin;
- 2 screws for belts (sold in stores with accessories) and a flat screwdriver for installing them;
- large wooden beads;
- scissors;
- ruler;
- stationery clips;
- iron;
- sewing machine and thread.
Simple backpack pattern
Step 1
Find the details of a backpack:
- from leather or leatherette: 30x35 cm (2 parts) and 14x35 cm (2 parts);
- leather for loops: 10x2 cm (2 parts);
- from the lining: 44x35 cm (2 parts).
Step 2
Fold the leather parts as shown in the photo, fasten with clamps, sew and then stitch.
Step 3
Fold the two parts of the backpack (front and back) with the sides inward and sew on three sides, as shown in the photo. Trim the corners by stepping 2-3 mm from the seams. turn out the backpack, smoothing out the corners and seams well (you can help yourself with wooden chopsticks).
Step 4
Fold the lining details with the sides inward and sew on the two long sides. Without twisting, put the lining on the backpack, as shown in the photo.
Step 5
Align the edges of the backpack and the lining and sew them in a circle. Spread the lining up. Tuck the edges of the lining inward 1-1.5 cm, fasten the hem with an iron, align the edges and sew the lining. Now it can be refueled in place - inside the backpack.
Step 6
Spread the seam connecting the backpack and the lining, fasten its edge with clamps and stitch.
Step 7
Mark the installation locations of the eyelets.
Step 8
Punch the device (or cut out with small sharp scissors) the holes and install the eyelets.
Step 9
On the lower two corners of the backpack, mark the loop fastening points. Punch holes through all layers of the backpack, punch holes of the same size at the two ends of each loop, and attach the loops to the screws using a screwdriver.
Step 10
Measure the desired length of the straps and cut off 2 pieces of a cord or strap of the appropriate length. Pass the cord / strap segments through the eyelets and loops and put a bead on each end, securing it with a knot. Done!
