Noodlehead Range Backpack + Mini Version

 Earlier this year, I came across the Range Backpack by Noodlehead.  I wanted to make something to donate to a charity auction and I thought this would be perfect.  I joined the Noodlehead Sewing Patterns Facebook group and got a lot of ideas and inspiration, in particular the zippered top.  

It was fairly easy to figure out and essentially I put together the front and back and then attached each to the zipper leaving an opening at the bottom of the lining then turned the whole thing right side out.  

As much as I like this bag and pattern I found it to be a little big for my taste, so I made my own mini version.  I wanted something that was just big enough for my computer, water bottle and a few extra odds and ends.  

The finished size is about 13 inches tall, 11 inches wide and 3 inches deep.  

I put together a PDF of the modifications I made HERE.  You will need to purchase the pattern from Noodlehead in order to make the bag.  

Let me know if you make a mini version....tag me on IG #zaaberry.
