The Meshing Around Quilt Pattern is a fun, functional project designed for makers who love sewing practical items with a stylish twist. This pattern teaches you how to create lightweight drawstring backpacks made with breathable mesh and coordinating fabric — perfect for carrying everything from swimsuits and pool toys to dance shoes, gymnastics gear, or workout essentials. The mesh material provides ventilation and makes it easy to see what's inside, while the sturdy fabric base adds durability, color, and personality to the bag.
Front mesh slip pockets keep frequently used items easy to reach, and the cinch-top closure opens and closes smoothly. The closure straps double as comfortable backpack straps, simplifying the design and helping ensure the bag stays closed while being carried. These bags make wonderful gifts and can be personalized for each recipient using fabrics in school colors, favorite team colors, or themed prints.
The pattern includes complete step-by-step instructions for three convenient sizes, making it perfect for confident beginners and experienced sewists alike.
Small: 13" H × 12½" W
Medium: 16" H × 15½" W
Large: 19" H × 15½" W
Whether for travel, sports, school, or gifting, the Meshing Around Pattern is a fun, versatile sewing project you’ll want to make again and again.
