toxo Posted January 6, 2022 Report Posted January 6, 2022 My 3 yr old Grandson is going to start his first uniform school soon and I've promised to make him a dinosaur backpack but struggling to find the right pattern. I could just laser an image on the flap but I'm looking for something with a bit more to it. In the meantime I've started this pencil case. Finally got it cut/punched out. Will start building tomorrow. He's Dino mad and knows a lot of the names already. Quote
PastorBob Posted January 6, 2022 Report Posted January 6, 2022 Looks like a fun project and I am sure he will thoroughly enjoy that. Probably get a frog and some marbles in there too. I did a quick search for dinosaur backpacks and nothing cool really popped up. Good luck with your project and make sure to post pics.

Members JayEhl Posted January 6, 2022 Members Report Posted January 6, 2022 Hi, not wanting to assume (or insult) your computer knowledge but in the google, you can search for "backpack and dinosaur" and then filter for images (at the top). When I searched I saw lots of creative ideas but as mentioned, no patterns. You may have to get a decent looking one on the cheap and tear it apart for modifications and stuff. Further searched by adding "sewing and pattern" I saw this: https://threadistry.com/blog/dinosaur-sewing-patterns/ https://sewing.craftgossip.com/free-pattern-fleece-dinosaur-backpack-with-spikes/2012/10/25/ https://www.etsy.com/listing/67814698/dinosaur-back-pack-pdf-sewing-pattern https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dino-backpack-2 Whatever you decide I'm sure it will be filled with love and worn with pride. and be sure to post pictures when complete!

My first grandson loved dinos too they were the first thing he learned to talk about. we painted his whole room with the theme, he is 21 now. Love em now it goes by quick! Wish a had a pattern i would sure share it with you.

CFM chuck123wapati Posted January 6, 2022 CFM Report Posted January 6, 2022 haven't come up with a pattern but this looks cool could be adapted to about any pack pattern. https://www.littlelife.com/products/kids-daysacks/big-dinosaur Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on.

toxo Posted January 7, 2022 Author Report Posted January 7, 2022 Thanks guys nearly finished the pencil case, will post pics later. Chuck, I like your thinking but I want to make him something that he'll use for a few years. Maybe I'll end up just lasering some Dino images on a veg tan flap. Quote
toxo Posted January 8, 2022 Author Report Posted January 8, 2022 There's some very tricky sewing in this. I had some fake croc left over. Quote

That is some serious sewing, you did good.
