[Backpack Pattern]

I'm not sure I haven't weighed it, but I would guess around 10lbs. I used about 20 sqft of 5.5 oz to make it.

I used 5.5 ounce oil tan from hidehouse leather and pigskin as a lining.

[Backpack Pattern]

Hello all leatherworkers, I was recently asked by a fellow member id I had a pattern for a backpack I made. So after putting it together for him I thought I should also share with the community. It's not a full size pattern, it is drawn on 1/4 inch grid paper so it will have to scaled up. I also added my construction process/instructions with the pattern. I hope it makes since. Let me know what you think. Here is a picture of the backpack I made. The link is:

Thanks H factor

I used 5.5oz oil tan leather from hide house leathers, then lined it in 1.75oz pigskin. As reinforcement where the back straps attach I have 2 layers of 10oz belt strap

Thanks for the compliments, That bag proved to be a larger undertacking than I originally bargained for.

After my work bag broke I decided to make this bag from pictures I found on the internet.
