This is an idea that I have had for a while running in the back of my mind. Finally I drew it out and made one. I love it!! The side zipper is wonderful for get things in and out of my backpack quickly. There is also a back zipper pocket and two interior slip pockets. I hope to write the pattern soon and have two sizes, large and small. My daughter immediately wanted one when she saw this bag but I think she would need it to be smaller since she is only 5. I am also going to add a cute zipper pull tutorial to go along with this backpack!! So start to watch the shop for this new pattern available soon!

Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work. Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped key fobs with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template PDF. Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template. Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later. We used a 1.5
