Shaw Paper Pattern

Shaw is a simple backpack that comes in three sizes! This pattern has been cleverly designed to avoid using any bias binding. The name of this pattern was inspired by my first cruise, and the movie, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Note: This paper pattern contains multiple pages that are printed front to back. We recommend using tracing paper to trace the pattern shapes and preserve the instructions. Visit our Blog for Pattern Tracing Tips & Techniques!*
