The Bellflower Backpack - Paper Pattern by Blue Calla

The Bellflower is a medium-sized backpack with a double flap on the front, one for the main closure of the bag and a second smaller flap for the exterior front pocket. The top flap has a turn lock closure and the second flap has a magnetic snap closure.

It has two adjustable shoulder straps and a top carry handle inserted into oblong grommets. The top carry handle is optional and does not affect the usability of the bag.

Depending on your fabric selections, you can achieve either a casual or a more formal look.
