I'm in a wheelchair and I make backpack purses because they work well with the chair. Mine are very similar to VB backpacks. I don't have a pattern. Instead, I pretty much measure out how deep I want pockets, etc.
And a clue I learned here---------keep the lining in a light color. Makes it easier to see what's inside.
Most of mine are from remnants and scraps-----------cost way less than$10 per.
