3-In-1 Lena Backpack sewing pattern

Backpack Lena is a small and flexible 3-in-1 backpack that can be worn as a backpack, shoulder bag or crossbody bag, or carried by hand thanks to its variable strap and handle options.

The designer gives you the option with the Lena 3-in-1 pattern to sew a trendy shopper with carrying handles, or a crossbody bag that can also be worn as a backpack. You can also choose between different bag openings, slip pockets or zipper pockets inside and instructions for sewing different straps for your bag. Very versatile!

The design gives you plenty of options for color-blocking, using your favorite prints, or using up scraps to create a colorful design. Although of course it looks equally good if you choose a classic style and sew it all in a single solid color too. Perhaps a solid for the work-week and go crazy with color to sew one for casual time at the weekends.
