Special Features:

• adjustable straps
• interior slip pocket
• hang loop
• made entirely of rectangles, no need to cut out templates

I like making these with waxed cotton canvas but there are lots of options for the fabrics you can use and I can advise you on how to interface the fabric of your choice to make best use of it. The email you will receive after booking will explain the fabric options, where I buy suitable fabrics in the UK and help you pick the right interfacing and hardware.

In this day class you will come with your fabrics cut out and interfaced so we can focus on learning how to construct this fabulous backpack. I have made a number of these, and each one has been gifted to friends – they are wonderful gifts. This is a great starting bag if you are new to bag making.

There are only 5 places available in this class.
