This is a new version of the Sloop backpack pattern - Sloop 2 - a compact leather backpack with one front and one inner pocket. This backpack is quite lightweight and practical for everyday use and in this version I have redesigned the closures for quicker access and also made the whole backpack a tad wider so now it has more space inside. The inner pocket has also become a bit bigger and it can now fit a smartphone.
The pattern has stitching holes marked for 5mm stitching irons. Formats: US Letter, A4, 24" Wide, SVG, DXF.
Size: Height 12” Width 9.5” Depth 4.5”
