The Town & Country Backpack by Laura Martell of The Creative Thimble includes sewing instructions for creating a great medium sized backpack with 6 pockets. There is one horizontal zippered pocket located securely underneath the large front flap and another vertical zippered pocket on the back of the backpack. You can hide your valuables in this back pocket and keep it close to you at all times. The two pleated pockets on the lower front have a flap with a hook and loop closure. Inside you will find one patch pocket that is divided into 2 smaller pockets. The top of the backpack closes with 2 magnetic snaps along the side seams that pleat the sides together under the front flap. The large front flap is a great place to add some creativity to your backpack and personalize it to your style. The flap has a magnetic snap that holds it securely to the front of the backpack. Finished size: 14” H x 12” W x 3-1/2” D.
