Claim your right to roam with this fine rucksack on your back. M&M recommend making it in traditional British oilskin or sturdy canvas. We at BLA would love to see it made using raw denim! Fully lined with 3 divided internal pockets. The pattern includes a cross-body bag as an alternative.
Hardware for this pattern is sold separately as a kit. The kit contains both metal and leather parts needed for the bag.
Pattern Errata: Pattern piece 10 (handle): The gap between the rivet holes should be 6cm on each side. It is currently 5cm on one side and 6cm on the other.
This is an intermediate pattern.
Wash your fabric before making, on a cycle that matches your fibre and fabric construction – generally no more than 30˚c, and with mild detergent.
M&M recommend pre washing your denim before sewing. Putting a large piece of medium-heavy weight denim into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases in the denim because it is a stiff fabric so it doesn’t have room to move around. Pre-washing also ensures you remove any further fabric shrinkage (most fabric manufacturers state 3-5% additional shrinkage, or for our denims it will be approximately 2.5cm in the length only).
We recommend doing the following to avoid creasing, and to prevent shrinkage after making:
