Basic Betty Backpack
Basic Betty is anything but. As if!
Get the convenience of walking around hands-free with this 90s-style bucket backpack purse.
The silhouette is classic. The construction is not.
Side snaps expand the top opening instead of a drawstring, so you get a clean look when closed and quick access when you need it. A back zipper puts the interior within reach without digging under the flap. The top flap folds down to give you a second way in. An interior zipper pocket keeps your essentials from going rogue at the bottom.
The optional frame appliqué for the flap gives you another place to play with fabric, color, and contrast.
Want to make your Basic Betty even less basic? The pattern also includes free bonus add-ons for an exterior zipper pocket, interior slip pocket, finished strap ends, and key strap.
