I want to highlight the incredible work of the pattern testers. Their attention to detail and creativity brought this pattern to life, and I am genuinely grateful for their hard work and dedication.
You’ll find a wonderful array of colours, fabrics, and personal touches that can spark your creativity and help you envision your own unique Penelope Backpack. Some of them have opted for stylish magnetic snaps for closures, while others have experimented with webbing for the straps, each adding their own twist to the design.
Overall, the work of the pattern testers exceeded my expectations, and I am so grateful for their contributions. Their feedback and suggestions were invaluable in improving the pattern.
I am sure their beautiful creations will inspire you to try the pattern yourself. 😉
