**THIS IS FOR A SEWING PATTERN, IT IS NOT FOR A FINISHED BACKPACK**
Instruction Language: ENGLISH
⌠ unicorn plush backpack .pdf pattern ⌡
This listing is for a .pdf instant download of a sewing pattern for a backpack shaped like a cute stuffed unicorn! The pattern includes 2 different wing, horn, and hair variations for a myriad of different unicorns. The faces are made with machine applique -- templates for which are included in the pattern as well.
The backpack is styled to look like the unicorn is clinging to your back and looking off to the side. It comes in two sizes -- small and large. The small is suitable for holding a phone and a few other essentials, while the large size is an epic statement piece that can hold a standard tablet.

This sewing pattern has complete instructions to create the backpack from start to finish -- including step-by-step photos and a printable pattern. It includes extra info on choosing fabrics, tools to get started, printing your pattern, and cutting your fabric. This project is not recommended for absolute beginners, but I do my best to explain everything in detail for those rogue newbies that want a challenge :)
The face is done with machine applique, but embroidery files are also available. They are sold separately here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/772470406/unicorn-eyes-3-machine-embroidery-file
