PunKitty-Plaidness Pak

Step 31: Side Attachment, pt1

So...crazyness, we are ready to attach the side panel to one of the face/body panels! I'm chosing to attach the zipper side first, as it will be the more difficult, and because it will be easier once it is attached to just unzip it to work on the backpack while I am sewing the other side on.

IMPORTANT: make certain that you pin the side panel to the front of the pack with the pockets facing INSIDE. the frayed edge of the side panel gets pinned facing into the front panel. (see photo 1)

Once I am done sewing the inside, I sew the outside. Zipper start and end are specially reinforced.

Be certain to double-seam around the outside.
