This is a tutorial for making Sloop 2 - a compact leather backpack. 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.
