From the Pattern Designer: A practical day pack designed by Francli Craftwear. Create a bespoke pack for everyday life and adventures further afield. With water bottle pockets and internal laptop pocket. All seam allowances are 1 cm unless otherwise stated. Skill level: intermediate. Fabric suggestions: oilskin, dry oilskin, mid-heavy weight cotton canvas or drill, mid weight denim (8-14oz). There are 3 different fabric parts to the bag, the contrast (bottom and back piece), the lining and the main fabric of the bag. You can go a little heavier for the contrast fabric as you’ll be putting this down on the floor potentially and the back piece will have wear and tear against your back!
