Who does not love a backpack? And what if the backpack that you are wearing can also be converted into a shoulder bag? That’s a double happiness in one bag.
So that’s what I bring to you all, a bag that is two in one, a backpack as well as a side shoulder bag. This bag was available in an online store but is now sold out, however you can still recreate it exactly the same with the same fabric that I used for creating my bag.
I have uploaded the detail step by step tutorial with complete set of measurements and templates ready for you to download.
Before I give you more details about convertible backpack. Have you seen the tutorial for a cute little toddler’s backpack that I made? I created the backpack for toddlers with a cute Harry Potter themes fabric that I got my hands on. As soon as I put it up for sake on my hobby shop, it was sold. Si it’s a must see and learn backpack as well. Have a look at the backpack I created.

Tip :
If you don’t have fusible woven interface. Attach the lightweight fusible fabric to a thin polyester sheet or batting and sew it to the fabric with polyesters sheet facing the wrong side of the fabric. It will give a great look and provide the exact sturdy look.
