I've been wanting to make a leather backpack for a while now, and I happened to have a beautiful hide of Natural Essex by Horween sitting in my shop and I knew this would be the perfect project for it. You can pick up the tools/supplies and leather that I used in this project down below.

I carry a military style backpack to work daily , keep my lunch and anything else I may need in it. Would be awesome to have a leather main bag, with molle II attachments!

Bro, that is a dead sexy camera back. I am going to have to get me one for sure. I do leather work but not as big of projects as that camera pack. Plus I can tell my Peeps I got it from Stock & Barrel Co. Nice leather work and great vid. By the way thanks to your Vlog with DLS I found and bought some really nice leather and supplies. DLS is my new place to go for my leather supplies, Thanks.

Great bag you made there. Great craftsmanship. Howdy there, I saw you were using a small anvil for a weight to hold your stuff down. I took some of my chap scraps (oil tan leather) & cut out a little 8" x 4" piece of leather. Fold it over into a 4" x 4" size, stitched 2 sides & 3/4 of the open end. I took some real old shotgun shells I had, cut them open & poured the shot inside for the weight until full. Then stitched the last 1/4 of the open end together. I have made others for people & used BB's to fill the pouch. Easier to use the BB's since they come in bulk. The soft chap leather doesn't scratch or indent any leather. They make good door stops too, lol. You can also use clinch nails where you are using those little clips. Works great. I learned that from a young great saddle maker out in Texas. See you can teach an old dog new tricks, lol. Just space the clinch nails about 1" apart just through your stitch line & stich slowly & pull the nails as you get to them. Works great. Sorry wasn't trying to hijack your video just giving out some helpful hints.

If you are still having difficulties sewing over multiple layered seams, look into the "hump jumper". I have seen sewists use it when sewing heavy fabric, like denim. I've also seen people make their own. I've never used one, though.

Good day Boss. Wondering what that imprint machine under the workbench with any hot foil machine is about. I have been searching for something that leaves a deeper Impression that the Tandy foil machine. Something that's more heavy-duty feeling. Appreciate you either way.

Thanks Nick, When your testing a new pattern I would probably start with a full side (~22-25 sq.ft)

Need to get a sewing book on clothing to learn about trimming curves. What you would have found is how to relieve the bunching are V-shaped notches that are needed to remove the bunching. Also, the folding technique on squares corners, tabbing on Inside and notching on outside curves. I like backpacks but I need a strong handle on the top simple hand pickup and straps long enough to crossbody carry when in a hurry. You might think about making zippers more secure or hidden to reduce theft. Backpacks are something you want to travel the world with and feel safe.
