Backpacks are an important part of our bag ‘wardrobe’ and the hot-right-now favorite is the roll-top model. You cannot go anywhere online without bumping into one.
The designer loves this straightforward-to-make, roomy bag because it is at home on the city streets or the trail for a day out. It has handy pockets inside to keep your things organized and plenty of space left over for other daily essentials.
Arizona is sure to become a perennial favorite. Just the thing for a more stylish morning commute.

The pattern:
This is a measure and cut pattern which means that you don’t have any templates to print off and match up - Yay! You need a rotary cutter, ruler, and mat and you can cut the pattern pieces straight from the fabric. This is easier than it sounds because the pieces are all simple squares and rectangles.
There are eighteen pages in this detailed pattern and twenty-three colour photos to help you to achieve just the right look.
New for this pattern are printable labels to keep track of your pattern pieces as you cut them. Simply print them off, cut them out and pin them to the relevant pieces.
