PDF guide and pattern for making your own 60L framed ultralight backpack, and an additional complementary 25 page beginner sewing guide, with free updates!
A 60L framed backpack, following the design of modern ultralight packs: a large roll-top main compartment with multiple external, easy access, generously sized pockets. Optional removable webbing hipbelt. The main compartment is approximately 55L, with 5L of side pocket volume, and variable additional storage depending on pocket options.
The sewing guide include a bonus appendix section containing information about how to make a variety of alternative frame types and hip belt attachment styles, making this likely the most complete guide to sewing ultralight backpacks currently available!
Difficulty: Intermediate. Some tricky seams and curves, and bulky areas. A practice run with scrap fabric is recommended.
Detailed instructions tailored to the complete beginner, although experienced sewers will have lots of learn also. No confusing abbreviations, all written in plain verbose English.
