Alternative Loop Methods for Sewing Backpack

This is Vicki Walker for Expert Village. We have chose our fabric. We have applied trim. We have sewn the D rings into the side seams and we have put the cord through the casing on both sides. In one side and out the other, in one side and out the other. Draw the bag close at the top. Make sure that, that works the way that it is suppose to. It should be a easy draw for a little girl. Then we brought the cords down and attached them to the D ring. If you would like to try another method besides the D ring. If you have the grommet equipment that his a good solution. You can do like this backpack have the grommet at the bottom with a reinforcement on the other side to hold that to make sure that it is sturdy. The cords can just be brought through the hole that the grommets makes and knot it on the other side. Another option would be to just have a loop of fabric large enough that the cords can be sewn into our attached to. Rather then having the D rings on the bottom like we have done here. But all in all I believe this little bag would make one little girl a happy little camper and she would have many years of enjoyment out of these backpacks.
