A backpack tutorial has been one of the MOST requested videos lately. And I’m with you, the backpack is one of my favorite bags to use. But I have been extra picky about which pattern I wanted to conquer. It has to be practical and useable. And then I saw the Trailblazer! This is such a great backpack that you can use for all of your outings. Have fun!
