A digital sewing pattern for a bikepacking handlebar bag, designed by Stitchback Gear. The BP1 is the first in their bikepacking series and it's a harness and bag system, with patterns for both parts included. If you already have a dry bag around 8" x 14", you can build just the harness and use that instead. The bag holds roughly 13 litres and opens with a zipper in the end rather than the top, so you can get at your kit without unstrapping anything. A hook and loop patch stops it shifting sideways on rough ground, and the squared-off corners make seam sealing tape easy to apply if you want it weatherproof. The harness is foam stiffened, with daisy chains across the top surface for attaching pouches or a bungee lashing system, plus a lower attachment strap. The pattern also covers making your own foam handlebar spacers, or you can skip that step and use ours. We recommend buying the pattern before ordering materials, so you understand the project and its requirements before you commit to fabric. Stitchback Gear's CAD drafted patterns give you a jump start on your next MYOG project. Build it as drawn, or use it as a launching point and customise it to fit. This listing is a digital download: a PDF with the full size pattern and instructions, formatted to print on 8.5x11" paper.
