Bellaclip is a fun and functional backpack with a few unique features. The shape lets you clip it in the down position when you want quick access, or clip it up when you want to hide the zipper for safety. The up and over zipper lets you open the bag wide.

You can make Bellaclip out of any combination of fabric, tweed, waxed canvas, vinyl, cork, and leather.

Outside, there are 3 overlay options to choose from: folded edge, raw edge, or an overlay with a slim, hidden zippered pocket. You can choose whether to install “hidden” strap connectors or sew the strap connectors into the seam. Inside, you’ll find three slip pockets.

The instructions show how to sew this on a flatbed machine, where you have limited access due to tight spaces. I reduced bulk everywhere possible to make this bag easy to put together on any type of sewing machine.

Combined with my Strap Guide, you can use any combination of materials to make your own Bellaclip Backpack.

The finished size is approximately 12.5 x 10 x 4 inches.
