Tripper is a functional backpack that can also be used as a diaper bag! This pattern has been cleverly designed to avoid using any bias binding. The name of this pattern was inspired by the American sitcom, Three’s Company.

I'm confident that anyone can make this bag if they want to! It's not a quick sew; however, it's a very functional bag and well worth the time! There are quite a few pieces to cut, which can make this bag seem intimidating, but if you take it one step at a time, the bag will come together before you know it! When you're done, you'll feel very satisfied and accomplished!

FINISHED SIZE: 12" wide, 14" high, and 10" deep

PATTERN DIFFICULTY: 3 Intermediate

FEATURES: Two exterior zipper pockets, wide opening top, elastic side pockets, adjustable padded straps, carry handle, three interior elastic pockets, and is fully lined

HARDWARE REQUIRED: All of the hardware required for this pattern is (2) 1" Ladder Lock Slider Buckles In addition, you can add an optional Tassel and Handmade Label. More additional optional hardware can be listed if on the back of the pattern cover.

ZIPPER REQUIRED: This pattern requires a 10" single slide and (2) 25" double slide zipper. Shop our selection of Faux Metal Zippers by the Yard, to achieve the professional appearance of metal zipper teeth, but with ease of sewing with nylon!

Included with this purchase is the pattern cover and the pattern instructions. Each of our patterns are complete with step-by-step illustrations to help make the written directions easier to understand. Included are many sewing techniques and tips to help you achieve a quality, finished project. Each pattern is designed to help you learn and expand your sewing skills!

Most patterns are measured and cut, which means that the pieces will need to be cut with a rotary cutter, ruler, and cutting mat. Some patterns may include templates for shaping and/or cutting out the pieces.

Trace or photocopy the pattern piece(s) onto a separate sheet of paper. If printing or copying template(s), print at 100% or actual size. Measure the test square provided in the pattern to ensure the pieces are the correct size. Tape corresponding pieces together before cutting fabric, aligning red lines, shapes, and outer edges. It’s also helpful to write the name and cutting instructions on each pattern piece. Cut out pattern pieces along solid black lines, unless otherwise stated.

Please review the back of the pattern cover for recommended fabrics. Shop our selection of Cork Fabric, Faux Leather, Microsuede, and Faux Fur for a designer finish. We also offer quality Interfacing and Stabilizers, to add structure and stability to your projects! Some patterns can also take our Mesh or Cotton & Canvas that we offer

Nice Backpack!

A generously sized bag with lots of functional pockets. Well designed, easy to follow instructions, and a video tutorial to help. I'm loving this bag as it challenged me and helped me grow in my bagmaking.

Thank you so much, Gail!
We’re thrilled to hear how much you’re enjoying the Tripper backpack. It really is a generously sized, functional design, and we’re so glad the pockets, instructions, and video tutorial supported you along the way. Knowing this project challenged you and helped you grow in your bagmaking means the world to us — that’s exactly what we hope our patterns can do. We love the cats in the laminated cotton on the interior to make it easy to wipe clean. It is truly a masterpiece!!

Tripper Diaper Backpack

I am really happy how this bag turned out. I used waxed canvas for the exterior with cotton accents, the waterproof fabric for the lining, and insulation fabric for the front pocket lining. I really appreciate the videos to help me. I did struggle a bit with the front pocket since I wanted the special lining for ice packs and bottles. A lot of sewing and ripping but it was worth the final result!

Hi Risanway,

Thank you so much for your review! Your Tripper Diaper Backpack is absolutely fantastic. Waxed canvas with cotton accents, waterproof lining, and insulated pockets—what a thoughtful and durable combination. I’m so glad the videos were helpful along the way. The fussy cutting of the accents is perfect!

That front pocket can definitely be a bit of a challenge, especially when adding special lining for ice packs and bottles. All that sewing and ripping takes patience, but it’s wonderful to hear the final result was worth it. Your dedication really shows.

We appreciate you sharing your experience and creativity with us! If you would like to share in our Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Group Facebook page, I am sure it will be inspiring to others. Happy sewing!!

Diaper Bag

It's a great pattern for a diaper bag. I did modify some parts because of using vinyl as the exterior.

Thank you so much, Twyla! I’m glad to hear the Tripper worked well as a diaper bag — it really is a versatile pattern. Modifying a few parts for vinyl is such a smart adjustment, and I’m happy to see it came together nicely for you. It is so beautiful with that fabric combination that you chose. Simply gorgeous! We’d love for you to show it off in our Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Facebook group!

Finally made my Tripper

I have been dreaming of making an up-cycled denim Tripper for ages. The pattern came together very well, everything fit great! I'm looking forwards to using my Tripper as an overnight/weekend bag.

Thank you so much for your review! An up‑cycled denim Tripper sounds absolutely amazing — and yours looks fantastic. I appreciate you sharing it here in your review. I’m thrilled to hear the pattern came together well and everything fit just right. Enjoy using your Tripper as your new overnight/weekend bag; it’s such a great style for travel! We’d love to see it in the Sallie Tomato Facebook Group. Cannot wait to see what you make next!

Not for centimeters users

I am sorry but I can't give a good note. I am struggling a lot because you don't have draw the pieces in A4. As I haven't a inches ruler, I have to convert each measurement. It's tiering. And we don't have a global vision of what each peace is for, some seam very big. I have to go back an forth to understand each peace. I just took a long time to create each peace in paper that would have been so easer if you just have made A4 patterns. And as I am a French, more drawing would have been more help. Thanks

Thank you, Emmanuelle, for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you had difficulty working with the Tripper pattern in inches and without A4‑sized pieces. We understand how challenging conversions can be, and we truly appreciate your suggestions about including A4 layouts and more drawings. We’ve started converting many of our patterns to metric to better support makers worldwide, and your input reinforces how important this is. We hope you’ll still enjoy your finished Tripper bag, and we’d love to see it shared in our Sallie Tomato Patterns & Hardware Facebook group, where fellow makers can connect and inspire each other. Happy Sewing.
