The Costermonger is the essential market tote designed as a backpack. Fill it up with wholesome goodies, leaving your hands free to tickle your dog.

Skill level: Beginner. All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated. Suggested Fabrics: Oilskin, dry oilskin, mid-heavy weight cotton canvas or drill, mid weight denim (8-14oz). You will need: Leather Strap Version: Matching thread 8 x 9mm rivets 4 x 1″ metal sliders 2 x 1″ leather strap 89cm long When inserting the rivets we recommend using a very solid surface like a cement floor so there is no movement. You will just need a hammer to set the rivets, and you will need something to make a hole in your leather. Webbing Version: Matching thread 2 x 1″ metal sliders.
