Andrea’s Rucksack Bag sewing pattern (2 sizes)
This is the Andrea’s Rucksack Bag sewing pattern (2 sizes) from the designer RLR Creations Sewing.
Andrea’s Rucksack is a streamlined rucksack that is ideal for all occasions. It’s a quick and easy sew that’s designed to stand out in a crowd.
This wonderful rucksack has lots of great features. It has a fold-over design and a zip top fastening. There’s a wide opening with a zip closure that folds down into a sleek and chic backpack that is secured with a clasp. The designer has included some handy zip pockets in the front for your keys or other quick access items, and a large zip pocket inside for your personal things.
The grab handle and adjustable shoulder straps make it comfortable to wear on your back when out and about, or why not sling it over one shoulder for casual comfort.
This project comes in two sizes. The smaller size is purse-sized and is perfect for everyday use and then there is the larger size that is perfect for a hands-free day out.
