I made the backback!!! If anyone ever reads this comment, maybe you can learn from my experience. After a few days wearing the backpack, the little strap loops I had sewn into the bottom seam started to fray and to rip off the seam. I undid the seam and redid loops, but this time, I burned the end of the strap. It does not fray anymore! you should really do that! I only needed 1.5 meter of fabric (If you want to save a little money)Also if you are not as experienced as wendy, your seams may not be perfect: making the bag in a dark color hides every single mistake!!!

I made this! I'm so proud of myself ~ I took me a week due to some design change and struggling to sew on the front pocket. I added a side pouch as well as a hidden zipper pocket inside the backpack. My backpack it two layers thick which is why I struggled a bit. The outside uses a thin beige fabric while the inside is a thicker white cotton fabric for durability and design sake. The shoulder straps I made to look like regular backpack with padding. I decorated it with lace ribbons, bows and fabric flowers I made. The result is a beautiful designed and cute mini backpack. Thanks for the video!

Mina Nazari actually older sewing machines tend to be stronger, since they were made in a time where they were used intensively. I have a newer Singer machine that went crazy and wouldnt sew through even one layer of my (to be fair, pretty thick) fabric. Tried it with my grandma's 40 year old soviet made machine and it did well even at the points where i had a 4-layer strap sandwiched by a layer of the same fabric on each side!

@maritvandenhelder2250 3 жыл бұрын

I made the backpack using one of those blue IKEA bags that you can get a t the checkout. The plastic/fabric is more than enough to create this backpack, however I recommend getting two bags for the straps. The straps on one bag combine to two meters, but you need over 2,5 meters to make this bag. I will have to add some extra strapping to mine so I can actually put the backpack on :'). You could always use the remaining plastic/fabric as a lining for another project to make it waterproof! If you want to do the same I would suggest you do this if you have a bit more experience (= you've already made a few projects). The stiff plastic makes it even harder to sew the corners and once you have sewn a stitch you can't undo it invisibly, you've poked a lasting hole in the fabric. Don't be scared to do it anyways however! This is a very fun project to make and in my opionion it looks really cool to use an IKEA bag like this :). Let me know if you are trying this too, maybe we can share experiences!

I wish I had a sewing machine because it'd be cool when people askw where did i buy it and id tell them I made it!!

@switchxzero7391 5 жыл бұрын

That's also another reason why like sewing, to have the amazed look as I say I made it. Also sewing your own clothes or accessories help the environment with recycled fabrics and gives you freedom to make your clothes more unique 💫

You should get one!! they are amazing and you don;t need to buy the $600 ones just start with a $50 one and see if you get the hang of it ( but it's hard to not break the needles when you start lol )
