Cumulus Backpack Leather Craft PDF Pattern Download

This listing is for PDF pattern to make the backpack, not the actual backpack!

I have been asked many times if I could make a bigger version of the famous Limulus backpack (see the catalog), and finally I designed the Cumulus: this design is not just good looking but also very practical. I like to have a back pocket to put my phone in it, and also I usually wear the backpack on one shoulder - the design of the Cumulus allows me to get in the backpack without taking it off, no matter which shoulder you like to wear it on! Very handy :)

And besides that, it is a total head turner!

Size, approximately: 14.5" x 13.5" x 2.5"

You will need around 7 square feet of leather to make this backpack. 5 oz veg or chrome, medium to firm hand, for the body. 3-4 oz for the zipper trim and logo patch. 6-7 oz for the straps.
