HELP! I BOUGHT THE PREVIOUS VERSION!
If you have already purchased the original version of the Toddler Backpack Pattern for $6 and would like to purchase JUST the updates, they are currently available as an add-on PDF below.
NOTE: The add-on file does NOT include the pattern pieces, just the fully-updated instructions, lining instructions, and summary sheet, and is intended ONLY for those who have already purchased the complete pattern.

CORRECTING YOUR OLD PATTERN
If you prefer not to purchase the pattern updates, please correct the following errors in your pattern instructions:
Pattern Errata
- In Steps 1 and 3, instead of machine basting the piping to the panels with a 1/8″ seam, you should machine baste them directly over the piping stitch line.
- In Step 8, instead of sewing the side/bottom panels together with a 3/8″ seam, you should use a 1/2″ seam.

Thanks for the update. I just purchased it. I’ve make 3 of these so far and my grandchildren love them.
