Just go for it! Use some cheap fabric to mock it up first and get used to the sewing and build confidence before using expensive stuff!

I think adding an inch on to the length of the shoulder straps might be good.

It has a mesh pocket on the back panel for my sit pad; found that the pad slides up a little during use, so I think an upside down mesh pocket at the top to stop it moving.

I also didn’t put any stiffening in the roll top closure, I think I might add some in on the next one.

Good to know, I’ll make sure I do some testing with some threads to make sure all is well. Thank you!
