Members McKenyon LeatherworX Posted June 11, 2014 Members Report Posted June 11, 2014 I would be interested as well! Thank you! Quote
dirtclod Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Get some poster board and start drawing ! You can make your own pattern if you try and it will be your own design. Edited June 12, 2014 by dirtclod Quote
Members Hi Im Joe Posted June 12, 2014 Members Report Posted June 12, 2014 ^This. A ton of time went into designing a pattern for that backpack. I would be surprised if someone just willingly gave away a pattern that took them hours upon hours to figure out and then fine tune. Quote
jridley Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 I'd be willing to pay for a good pattern. Especially a pattern similar to the Expedition from theleathershop.com . There pack sells for $1600, which is way out of my budget. Quote
Members leatherworks64 Posted April 26, 2015 Members Report Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) The basics of a rolltop backpack are pretty simple. The pattern is a boxed bottom tote bag with extra height added for the top to be rolled. Add front and side pockets of any size and shape that you like, and attach back straps to reinforced section of the back. For anyone who has convinced themselves that they can't make patterns, a boxed bottom tote is the ideal starting point, 'cos all you do is draw straight lines, having first decided on the bag's finished dimensions plus seam allowance. There are heaps and heaps of free tote bag patterns and tutorials on the net, and at least three different ways of boxing the bottoms. Most of them are for fabric, of course, but most can be adapted for leather quite simply. A good place to start is to Google "canvas and leather tote bag patterns". A lot of the links go to Pinterest sites, and they are all full of pins of links to tutorials, patterns and photos. Unfortunately, these days, if you want to browse Pinterest sites, you have to join, first. Personally, I have found it worthwhile as a source of instruction and inspiration.

Members mickthedig Posted April 28, 2015 Members Report Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Hi austinb I have the same problem A bag from the internet I would love to buy but costs more than I can afford. But with $2 of card from Dollar Tree and a few days studying the original via the internet, and skills learn in kindergarten, I made this model which I could use as a pattern to make a copy, but I am now working customizing it for what I want from a bag. In making this I have learn loads about bag construction, and now I understand why it costs so much. Have a go, you might surprise yourself Edited April 28, 2015 by mickthedig Quote
