I just taught myself to sew this past January and took this on as a second project because I really wanted a unique diaper backpack! Definitely a challenge for me being so new and it’s absolutely not perfect, but I’m so proud of how it turned out! I love that there’s a video tutorial with the pattern, I learn better with a visual real time explanation of how to do something. Highly recommend and I can’t wait to use it when the baby comes!

I’ve made this backpack twice. It is such a good pattern, and I love how functional the backpack is. I found the video to be helpful during the slightly tricky part of making the front pocket.
I’ve been using my Tripper as my everyday commuting-to-work bag and it is fantastic. Thank you to Sallie Tomato for this pattern!

Making this for my daughter to use as a diaper bag. I sent her links to several patterns from various designers, and she immediately wanted this one! I am looking forward to making it. I love all of Sallie’s patterns- pieces always fit together correctly, wonderful instructions, and great videos! Also going to make one for me and my husband for our trips.
Jess used it for her boys as well. So glad to hear that you love our patterns and video tutorials. More great things coming.

Great Pattern.
I got it made with little confusion. Wasn't the easiest pattern I made but it was a fun challenge.

It wasn’t until 2016 that I released my first pattern, the Puppy Pillow. Now, my passion is to design quality sewing patterns, so you can create too!

The name of my shop developed around my middle name, Sallie. Also, the tomato pin cushion is a well-recognized symbol of sewing. Thank you for visiting my website!
