If you really want to make something more complicated, you can always get into drawstring backpacks. Although these bags close like drawstring pouches, they are more complicated in design. A backpack requires multiple panels of fabric, and they have to be carefully designed. If you make a backpack too “baggy,” it won’t be comfortable to carry. If, on the other hand, you make it too small, you won’t be able to fit enough into it. Bags come in all shapes and sizes, but making your own is the best way to get just what you need. And nothing beats the feeling of excitement you get from knowing that you’ve crafted your own handmade bag. Every time you wear it, you will be struck by a sense of pride.
