You guys, I made a backpack!!! And I absolutely, positively love it :).
I've wanted to either buy or sew a waxed canvas backpack for ages now but never seemed to come across just the right one. And then Anna (noodlehead) published her newest pattern for Range Backpack and I knew I had to drop everything and start making it right away.
I used waxed canvas (purchased here) for the exterior and Essex linen for the lining. I think this fabric combo gives the finished backpack just the right firmness without being too stiff.
And, since I'm sort of obsessed with rivets I added them to my straps and front closure.
So, if you're ever in a mood to sew up a super fabulous backpack for yourself, I highly recommend you give this pattern a try. You won't be disappointed.
Off I go, one more day of summer break left and then it's back to school for all three of my kids. I'm actually kind of excited to get back to a regular schedule and routine :)
Wishing you all a lovely and productive day. Svetlana
LOVE this! I don't even know if I'd use a backback but I may need to see one of these days!
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect! Love the rivets! What type of fabric did you use for the shoulder straps? Thank you for sharing all your wonderful creations. I always look forward to seeing what you have made!

The range backpack construction is so cool. I like the shoulder carry leather straps; they must be comfortable. I will try to make one for my daypack. Thanks for the tips. If you are in need of a daypack, see some unique models here: http://hikingmastery.com/top-pick/best-daypack-for-hiking.html
