canvas pack (my style)

[topknot]

Hi All, The next bit on the pack is to stitch this 1" tape over the seams to stop them from fraying.

more to come.

Cheers Topknot

Hi All, Just finished the leather work on the lid . I put the leather staps on this way for reason, and i'll show that on the finished pack .

Cheers Topknot

That looks cracking! I've just started something similar (but a lot smaller) I just hope to heck SWMBOs sewing machine can hack it!!

Keep posting, between you and Kerne and 86inch we're in canvas heaven!!

Cheers,

Alan

I probably shouldn't admit this, but...

When I first saw this photo, I thought it unusual to make a pack with internal, flapped pockets!

S-l-o-w-l-y, it dawned on me that the pack was inside out!

That apart, what a gorgeous pack, I love it!

Hi All, This is the down hill run to the finished pack .
I had the black tape stitched on the pack by a lady who as help me in the past on another project

So now all i got to do is stitch the shoulder straps on.

Cheers Topknot.

Hi All , This is the end of my canvas pack project.

The photos below shows why i put the leather straps on the flap this way.
So when the pack is only half loaded up i can tuck the flap up inside and press stud the flap inplace. Then i can pull the flap down and close up the top of the pack .

Thankyou all for looking
All comments welcome
Cheers Topknot

:wow1: that's goooood Actually saying it's good is an understatement.

I clocked this thread last week while waiting for membership clearence and thought it was an impressive project to start, especially since you did all the sewing by hand.

You might want to check out the waterproofing canvas thread now.

Great job, you should be justly proud.

Very nice indeed.

 

[John Fenna]

How much would you charge for one like that in green......by next weekend?
Cracking work mate!

A very nice job indeed, I particularly like the way the lid can double over the way it does.
I'm assuming that this is to help with water proofing.

Cheers, Alan.

Sorry I just read this properly, but in my defence I don't start to really take notice of things untill about an hour after the kids have gone to school.

That's top notch topknot!! Cracking work and the hand sewing that must have went on makes me grimace, I'm still picking the skin of the outside of my pinkies from my last project!! Lovely work sir! :notworthy

Cheers,

Alan
