Hi creative friends and sewists-alike.
I added a large patch pocket to the inside for holding keys, my phone and my wallet.
Take it from me, as a mom Im always carrying plenty of stuff for my kids.

Print off thelarge tote sewing patternon 16 sheets of 8.511 paper.
Align the paper edges and tape the pieces together as shown.
Place the pattern pieces on top of the fabric aligning the grainlines.
Cut along the solid line (the dashed lines represent the sew lines).
Remember to clip the notches on the pattern as these notches will guide you with aligning pieces together.
Fold and press the edges of the pocket piece in by 12.
Fold the top edge of the pocket in another 12 to clean finish the pocket opening.
Sew the hem at the pocket opening with a 1 hem height.
Align the dots on the pocket with the dots on the lining piece and pin together.
Next stitch pocket in place along all three sides leaving just the opening unstitched.
Fold the large lining piece in half lengthwise and sew the side seams together.
Leave one side with a 5 gap opening to use later when turning the sewn piece right side out.
Sew across with a 12 seam allowance stitching the edges together.
Repeat on the other side.
Turn the piece right side out to see how the lining has formed a bag shape.
Rucksack
Sew the lower half (camo base) to the upper half of the bag (solid canvas).
Fold seam allowance to one side and top stitch the seam to reinforce.
Align the cut ends of the straps with the notches on the outer shell piece as shown.
Stitch the opening closed.
Press the top edge of the bag opening with an iron so it lays flat.
Topstitch the opening for added reinforcement.

Pin it for later!
