A Smart, Feature-Packed Backpack for Everyday Adventures – Designed by Samantha Hussey (Mrs H)
The Buddy Backpack by Mrs H is a cleverly designed and highly functional backpack sewing pattern, ideal for those who love organization, versatility, and a professional finish. With its thoughtful layout and unique strap system, this is a must-make project for advanced sewists.
Measuring 11″ x 13 1/2″ x 5″ (28cm x 34cm x 12.5cm), the Buddy Backpack is compact yet spacious, featuring a long list of functional elements: a laptop pocket, pen slots, keyring holder/pocket, zippered pocket, slip pockets, and a bottle holder—all tucked under a secure top zip closure. There’s also a hidden back pocket under the flap for added convenience and security.
One of the most unique features is the adjustable strap system using strap sliders: the short top handle retracts when worn on your back, and the backpack straps pull away when you carry it by the handle—no dangling straps in sight!
