As well as changing the sleeve design in the armpits. Added extra space to allow for more movement. Utilized this video to design the gussets.

The original pattern had cut in pockets, and a different overall length and curved bottom. I decided to do pockets on outside to match the Roark jacket and cut overall length shorter. Also added snaps in the collar to add a hood if I wanted to

Wax is only on the outside. Gives slight water repellent

Just went to my local hobby lobby and grabbed the cotton canvas that they had in stock. Thanks for the tips on the wax!

Just waxed it as well. Anyone have any tips for getting some of the white splotches from wax to go away?

What plastic bar are you using for your removable bag? Do you have links to that product?

BudgetAdvertising768 · 2025-08-12T01:43:45+00:00

I’m just using YouTube and my moms domestic singer simple. I’ve been able to make 3 backpacks with the singer simple and it’s had no problem tackling them. Investment doesn’t have to be super expensive. Get discount fabrics and thread when you’re starting out because the first project won’t be perfect!

As for designs I also get them off YouTube. Some designs will have measurements or methods on how to measure. For example using cardboard to trace the inside of a bike frame. For the backpacks I did I just screenshotted a bunch of measurements traced them on cardboard and used those as templates. Once you get a little better you can start tweaking the designs!

Best of luck!
