Buckthorn Backpack & Tote Pattern *

The Buckthorn Backpack & Tote Pattern by Anna Graham of Noodlehead includes sewing instructions and pattern templates for creating a zippered top backpack and tote for everyday use. They both have a front pocket for easy access to smaller items and a flat oval base. A divided interior pocket keeps everything inside organized.
