Welcome to the Buckthorn Backpack + Tote Sew-Along Part 3! We’re on the last few steps, hope you’ve had fun! Can’t wait to finish up today.
Sew-Along Schedule
Here’s the schedule I’m following for the sew-along:
Part 1: Friday, September 29th, fabric selection, cutting & fusing, preparing webbing/handles
Part 2: October 6th, Assemble Front and Back, assemble exterior
Part 3: October 13th (today), Make lining, prepare zipper & attach binding
In today’s video (Part 3, linked below) we go over assembling the lining, preparing the zipper, and attaching the binding!
