    Final Product: What You Will Create

    Once you have completed the embroidery, stitching the backpack goes together quickly.

    Place pattern pieces on fabric you are using for the front, back, and side pieces. Using a water soluble marking pen draw around each pattern piece.


    Step 4:
    Place the printed paper templates of each design to each pattern piece where you want the design embroidered. Be sure to place them high enough so they will not be covered by the pocket pieces. Do the same step as above for the side pockets. Stitch all designs using a tear away backing. DO NOT CUT OUT THE PIECES, until you have finished all embroidery.

    Step 6:

    There are a lot of steps to completing the backpack, but as cute as it turned out, I believe that it was worth doing. My great grandson loves it!!
