Drawstring knapsack with handles
A backpack-style bag you can wear on your back is perfect for everyday use! Here’s an idea for a drawstring knapsack with a handle.

That’s why we recommend a drawstring knapsack with a handle.

Scalloped Pochette with Double Gussets
Let me share an idea for a scalloped crossbody pouch for girls! A scalloped pouch has a flap that looks like flower petals—so cute.
To make this pouch, you’ll need two pieces each of exterior and lining fabric for the body, one piece each for the side panel, outer pocket, and the flap’s exterior and lining, plus a shoulder strap and one magnetic snap.
First, attach the magnetic snap to the pocket’s exterior and the flap’s lining.
Next, with right sides together, sew the pieces to make the flap and the pocket.
Make small snips in the seam allowance of the side panel, then sew it to the exterior body.
Sew the lining, and finally assemble all the parts together—and you’re done!
