Playmat Backpacks

When looking through Pinterest for Operation Christmas Child ideas, I found some playmats.  Since I love multi-taskers, I came up with a drawstring backpack that doubles as a playmat for dolls or hotwheels.  I used a slightly modified version of the backpack for Lutheran World Relief School kits, the pattern is available here.  Since I used regular fabric to make it, I used an old (clean) sheet as a liner, sewing the layers together.  I triple stitched the bottom and side seams to make sure it can withstand years of use.  For the tabs, I layered a thicker fabric inside.
