I finished this today, it is inspired by the recent construction of an 1815 Napoleonic knapsack. I used a double thickness of calico and machine stitched it together pretty quickly. It was waterproofed by being painted with s Matt paint in the usually manner. I've only placed it under a running tap so far, so I don't know how it would fare in a downpour!
It's a simple construction which serves as an alternative to modern one.
I finished it off with a reversed wooden button , with a handstiched button hole.
There's are available to order.
I'm really pleased how it's turned out and it's my original idea....
