Hello this is a nice project, but when I down laoded the pattern it was just to hard to put the patteren together any one else have a hard time?
What a lovely pattern! Thanks for sharing.
Question: does the pattern includes seam allowens?
yes, it does:)
are there actual written directions for assembly
There are, just click on the pictures and it will redirect you to the different tutorials, this is a sew-along made in three parts. Enjoy 🙂
I’m finding the front pocket part of the video really hard to follow and I’m not a novice sewer. Are there written directions somewhere?? The video makes no sense
This is a sew along and the written instructions are available for free on the site. I thank you for your feedback, The video took more than 2 weeks to make so I am at a loss what part makes no sense to you? This is an applied pocket an advanced intermediate technique not for everyone.

[…] Hi Kayla, it goes to the front. Please check out the video tutorial. https://so-sew-easy.com/new-video-tutorial-sewing-small-backpack/ […]
When sewing on the side gussets after completing the zipper I believe I see two gussets with rounded edges being sewin on each end of the zipper. However I only have one side gusset pattern and it say to cut one each of lining, fabric and interfacing. Should that be two each or am I missing a piece.
Do Cut Thow, that was an oversite of mine and I just have not updated the pattern.
I was confused too. Glad I’m reading all the comments and Myra’s replies.

YES MOST APPRECIATED !!!
I can only imagine the amount of time spent.
I reviewed this, perhaps an embarrassing # of times, to “get it right”.
You are welcome Anne! Enjoy!
Thank you so much for this sew-along video, Mayra! Any time there is video instruction, especially with a more difficult project like this backpack, it is incredibly helpful to the reader/viewer/sewist! This video must have taken a lot of time to film and edit. Much appreciated!
You are welcome Kimberly, It did take a long time because I am not a video producer so your appreciation means the world to me. Thank you!
