Eid Backpack Tutorial, How to Make Backpack

This tutorial is my another kind of backpack tutorial. I made it from laminated linen mixed faux leather. for the lining I used cotton fabric, with no interlining. For interlining itself--which I ironed to the outer--is fusible interlining non woven. At my local store in Indonesia the brand which oftenly used is Megatop, Tangerin, or Supertop. Well, at least, these three brands are which I sell in my online store.

Oke, back to the bag, you may use other kinds of interlining. As far you understand much the character of the interlining itself and the outer or lining you want to be attached.

 

Level for this bag is intermediate-advance. It's because of the 3D pocket at the front part of the bag and the material as well. But, on this tutorial I show how to keep it up with the shape of the pocket.

 

 Finished dimension of the bag is 17,5x15x7 cm or 6 6/8x5 7/8x 2 6/8". We can used this bag as backpack or crossbody bag. It depends on where you put the long strap.
