Drawstring Backpack: a free pattern for school and gym

AppleGreen Cottage covers a lined drawstring backpack in two sizes, with an external zipper pocket, an interior flap pocket, and neat boxed corners.

A step up from the basic gym sack, and the zipper pocket makes all the difference for keys and cards. Sturdy cord is worth the small extra cost here.
