Pattern and Instructions: The Field Trip Backpack
Perfectly sized for a small tablet or sewing textbook, the Field Trip Backpack can go with you on all of your creative adventures!
This mini backpack is an adorable book bag that will upgrade any outfit with a touch of classroom chic. Due to all of the interfacing and underlining, it's a very sturdy bag!
This version was made in a pink houndstooth wool, with the same buckles as on the Pep Rally Skirt.
You can experiment with different fabrics and decorative closures for a truly one-of-a-kind accessory.
I can’t wait to see what you make!
xoxo,
Gertie

Pinky wednesday Addams vibes 🩷
Has anyone made this one? I am searching I and cannot find one!
I made one. :)
Is anyone having trouble opening the links in resources? I can’t seem to open them…??
Stop it! No, I take that back. Keep going. This is the most amazing accessory option ever! I’m gonna go back in time and make one to match my camp Gertie ensemble. But also I need a study hall backpacks for real life so it looks like I’m making 10.
This is just soo cute ❤️ can't wait to make it. Thanks team!
Yay. I’ll fit this one!! 😜. Loving it
It’s hard to read the top stitching instructions because they used black texts on a black back surface.
Omg this is SO adorable! Perfect for carrying my watercolour stuff when I go urban sketching! ♥️♥️♥️
I love it! I’m traveling to France at the end of June and this will be perfect for running around doing tourist things.
omg I am SO so so so excited to make this!!!
Omg 🩷🩷🩷 So cute!! I love it!
No A0 or true size?
So pretty! I would love to see what the inside is like, too!
I can’t wait to make a few to match my dresses ❤️
This is so cute!! I’m gonna have to make three of them so my daughters have matching bags! ❤️❤️
ooh, thank you! These will be easy to size down for my sons, too! By the way - a classic satchel/postman's bag/book bag would be wonderful and fit well with this year's theme!
Now I can replace my Harry Potter bags without breaking the bank! YAY!
Omg just what I need for festival season!
So so cute !
Love it!!! 😍
I love this! I can honestly say that becoming a patron is one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a long time.
Love it! Love it! Love it! Just perfect for my wallet, prescription meds, glasses and Kleenex for my little day excursions. Thank you, Girdie!! Off to the shop for everything I need!!
so cuuutteee and useful!!!!!
How perfect - I was just looking at backpack patterns!
I can not wait to get ahold of some fabric for this!
Last night I ordered the perfect fabric for this. Now I can't wait for it to arrive!!!
Very excited
great. so now i need to make one to match each of my disneyland outfits. 🥹
I had the exact same thought 😂😅
SO CUTE
This is so adorable - I love it! 💗
This is the best present ever!!! I am a backpack not a purse girl!!! Omg!!! The possibilities are endless!!! Ahhh!!!!
This is very cute.
Shut up! I love this so much.
I love this! This is something I will actually make. I'll try to add a water bottle pocket on the side.
THANK YOU!!! I was just looking to make one of these.
So cute
i do wish she had put a A0 file on this because i have the worst luck with putting these kind of files together.
I'd love an a0 file, too. As well as a separate instruction file as I normally send those for printing at the same time
This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for - Thanks, Gertie & Team! 💝
Surprising and cute!
This is awesome thank you 😊
I had no idea how badly I needed a backpack pattern until now. Thank you!
Yesssss!!! Bagmakers, our time has finally come!!!
Yes!!!!
How to make yourself a CUTE theme park bag? Gertie to the rescue
So cute!! 🥰
Love this! Looking forward to making one. Would it be possible to change the font color on the topstitching edge stitching section? Is very hard to read.
Don't know if it helps, but here's the text on its own: "Both edgestitching and topstitching are decorative straight stitches that are near a seam edge and typically visible on the outside of the garment. The difference is how far they are sewn from the seam. EDGESTITCHING is sewn at ⅛ in (3 mm) and TOPSTITCHING is usually sewn at ¼ in (6 mm). Both stitches usually catch the seam allowance on the wrong side, and topstitching sometimes uses a longer stitch length (so it will be more visible as a decorative stitch)."
Looks like I’m making a bag this week. 😶 Kinda nervous. Doing it anyway.
oh my god I LOVE this!!
This is so cute!!
Immediately obsessed
This is very adorable! Thank you.
Omg yes! I got into bagmaking because I wanted to make a backpack like Chloe from Pokemon Journeys lol, this one is PERFECT!
Am I about to make my first bag?? 😍😍I’ve been needing a break from 3-5 yard projects.
How did I forget that it was the 15th?! I’m super psyched to make this! Thank you!!!💜
Well this is adorable!!!
Wow, what a lovely surprise! 🩷
Super cute! 🥰
OMG yes!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I love this!!!! I have every color of this style backpack on my animal crossing game
Me too!!! I still play ACNH, it's my favorite. I wish they'd add more DLC to the game, HHP is great but I want more. 💙🛩️🦤🏝️
Thank you Gertie, this is gorgeous 😍😍
