Let me tell you, I would have LOVED to have this super cute toddler backpack pattern when my twins were small! It’s so much easier to lug stuff around with you when your kids help you carry “the stuff.”

It features a front pocket, flap closure, and adjustable straps.

When they were younger, we used to have a rule: “If you want to take it, you have to carry it.” Obviously, this didn’t work for everything, but it worked much more often than you’d think. 

I remember one trip to Utah in particular. My youngest daughter wanted to take this GIANT blanket on the plane. I can’t remember how old she was, maybe 5 or 6?

I told her “no” a million times, finally gave in, and told her she could take it and I would NOT carry it for her in the airport.  She seemed thrilled with the plan until about 30 feet past security at the airport. 

By that point, I think she realized WHY I told her not to bring it with her and tried to get my husband and me to carry it for her. We didn’t, and she was upset about it all day. 

The next time we traveled, she took a smaller blanket. (Just to clarify, she had a perfectly good and warm blanket that she could have taken instead that fit in her carry-on roller bag).

About the Toddler Backpack Pattern

Derby Day Fabric collection by Melissa Mortenson of polkadotchair.com for Riley Blake Designs, fun fabric designs inspired by a day at the Kentucky Derby

This toddler backpack sewing pattern by Amy is adorable and practical, too!  I can imagine it being used for kids to tote their stuff to church, in the car, or on a family vacation.

Actually, imagining what my kids would have stuffed in a backpack like this when they were toddlers makes me giggle a bit! 

Why do they always want to take the most random stuff everywhere? I think we walked around with a lid to a margarine container for a month or so when my son was about two.

To accompany the backpack, Amy created this sweet little mini clutch. I LOVE how she added the felt details! If you haven’t stopped by Amy’s site, you should. She’s a mad genius when it comes to working with felt!

I love that she used the jockey silk print from the Derby Day fabric line; it’s one of my favorites. Did you know that every letter of the alphabet is in that print? You could cut up the pieces and spell all kinds of things on your projects with it.
