Retro Rucksack Sewing Pattern | Radiant Home Studio

Today is our final day of Retro Rucksack inspiration! I want to say thank you to all of these ladies for making such beautiful bags to inspire us!

Maria and Laura are sharing their Retro Rucksacks today…

Laura recently moved back to her home in England after living with her family in Brussels for many years. You can follow her travels and sewing adventures at Behind the Hedgerow. Be sure to check out her great Top Ten lists while you’re there!

Laura’s bag is made with oilskin (or waxed canvas, depending on which side of the Atlantic you live on…), which is a very durable fabric and excellent for bag making. Read Laura’s post for more details about her bag and her move!

Maria is a quilter and bag maker sharing her creativity at Mia’s Creations. She is a regular pattern tester for several independent bag designers, and I’m inspired by her attention to detail and clean, simple style.

Maria’s bag has really nice details! Check out her post to see how she made a simple, but very helpful modification to the interior zipper pocket.

Favorite place to add stickers? My kids have them Favorite place to add stickers? My kids have them on their water bottles and laptops. My husband adds them to his bullet journal cover to document his travels each year.

A few months ago, I added some inspirational stickers to the shop, but I don’t think I’ve shared them here!

It has been months since I had the creative drive It has been months since I had the creative drive to make a new pattern! I had other things to do today, but when you feel the energy return you have to go with it. 

I have several unfinished collections that just needed a pattern or two to complete the set. I’ve finished one today! I’m not sure where this will land in the world, but it feels good to be designing again. 🙌
