Ever wanted a lil ghost friend of your very own to carry around with you everywhere? Well, now your dream can become a reality with the Ghost Friend Backpack! This backpack is simple, cute & spooky, and is a low sew project (the only sewing involved is for the straps and for a liner, if you choose to line your bag). It makes the perfect Trick-or-Treat bag or a great addition to your spooky outfit.

The Ghost Friend Backpack pattern has a free video tutorial on my YouTube; this is the PDF version.
