We are Making a Rick Rolltop Backpack Today!

I am making the Petite size in this video but both sizes are constructed the same way. The PDF sewing pattern can be purchased at https://lindshandmade.com. Finished dimensions of each size are as follows: Standard is 12” wide by 8” deep by 16” high. The Petite is 10” wide by 6” deep by 15½”h. I am sewing on my industrial Juki Du-1181n using tex 80 bonded polyester thread. The Highland cow custom panel is a water-resistant canvas from K & A Custom Fabrics. We have partnered with them to offer “cut and sews” specifically designed for this pattern. As the name implies, you simply cut out the pre-printed pattern pieces and start sewing! (You will need to provide proof of pattern purchase before buying.)
