Izzie Convertible Backpack

I tested The Izzie Convertible Backpack recently. The pattern is from Around the Bobbin. This backpack can also be worn as a cross body bag, hence the convertible aspect of the bag. 

I love Lisa's patterns because she writes excellent instructions to make it easy to follow any of her patterns. She designs quilts, bags, baskets, potholders and more.  It's always a pleasure testing for her. This was a fun bag to make and I love how it turned out. I used a faux cork fabric (100% cotton that looks like cork) in purple and a pretty print with flowers and butterflies with a turquoise background. 

If you sign up for Lisa's newsletter, you will get a 30% discount on this pattern. Otherwise use her coupon code for Izzie, which is good through Sunday the 12th (also Mother's Day) for a 15% discount.

For the tester versions go here to see how great Izzie can look in different fabrics.You will find the discount code for 15% off toward the bottom of the page. Sign up for her newsletter on the top right hand side of her blog page for 30% off. Lisa is also selling hardware kits for Izzie if you need hardware.

Here is pretty Miss Izzie~ (she's for sale in my Etsy Shop)

Can be worn as a cross body bag like this.

Bottom of bag.

The top sides of the bag cinch in with magnetic snaps.

Unsnap the magnetic snaps and the bag opens nice and wide. Inside the bag is a zippered pocket and slip pockets too.

Worn as a backpack.

View from the front as it's worn as a backpack.

I sewed a pen pocket to the right of the slip pocket above. More slip pockets on the other side. Colors aren't as true here. See the very last photo for truer colors.

There is a nice grab loop on top of the bag too.

Side view and you can see at the top where the bag cinches in (snaps with magnetic snaps).

Back of the backpack.

The colors inside look more accurate here than in a previous photo.

I just listed this Izzie for sale in my Etsy Shop if you would like to purchase this one-of-a-kind Izzie.
