Love bags? So do we. Join us for our monthly Bag Makers' Club, where we explore a new, fabulous pattern the second Sunday of every single month.

This series is fully flexible—sign up for the whole year or just drop in for the bags that catch your eye. It is the perfect way to learn new techniques (hello, zippers and grommets!) and meet fellow makers in a fun, social environment.

Sew the Range Backpack: perfect for your next day on the go.

Looking for a sewing project that builds your sewist skills? Join instructor Tanya Hoven to create the Range Backpack by Noodlehead designs to make a useful and fun backpack.

This bag is ready for your next adventure! This pattern is the perfect companion for any outing where you need to keep your hands free while comfortably carrying your essentials. The clever foldover top and secure closure keep your belongings safe, while the convenient front zippered pocket ensures your most-used items are always within easy reach. Finished with adjustable straps so it is comfortable to wear over anything from a summer t-shirt to a bulky winter coat, this backpack is destined to become your favorite everyday bag!

Bag Size: 15" tall (closed) x 10 1/2" wide x 4 " deep (at base)
