Instructions
Cut out the following details:

- Of the lining fabric (including allowances): a rectangle measuring 41.5 x 71 cm and a circle with a diameter of 24 cm.
For the holders, cut out two rectangles measuring 8 x 5.5 cm, fold each of them in half, tear the sections and iron them.
Then turn both ends 1 cm.
Holders stitch on both sides and fold in half.
Fold the rectangle of the main fabric with the front side inwards and grind the short sides at a distance of 1 cm (= back seam).
Divide the lower section into 4 parts and put the tags with pins.
On the bottom details (circle) also put four marks.
Fix the holders with clamps on the cut (at a distance of 10 cm from the back seam), pin to the seam allowance and grind at a distance of 1 cm).
Pin the bottom by aligning the tags.
Stitch the bottom at a distance of 1 cm, iron seam allowances on the side part (they can also be sewn up to fix the side part to the edge).
Sew the lining of the backpack in the same way (see steps 3–6), but leave a hole for turning out approx. 15 cm
Knit the upper sections of the backpack and backpack linings with the front sides (pull out the lining over the main part).
Stitch the top of the backpack at a distance of 1 and 4 cm from the top.
Unscrew the backpack through the hole in the seam of the lining.
Iron the edge of the lining on top by 4 cm.
Lay the stitch in the seam at a distance of 4 cm.
Sew the hole in the lining seam manually.
Put tags on the blocks and set them at a distance of 2.5 cm from the back seam, and then at the same intervals (a total of 8 blocks).
Sew the stopper for the cord.
To do this, cut out a part measuring 7 x 10 cm, fold in half with the front side inward and iron.
Start sections at a distance of 1 cm, leaving a hole in the seam approx. 2 cm
Turn out the detail.
Chop the ends and sew them by hand.
In the middle, lay the stitch with a narrow zigzag stitch.
Push the cord into the holders, string a stopper on the cord.
At the bottom of the holders tie knots.
