Trade in your sad sack for a flashy new backpack in brilliant kraft-tex—the textile that looks like leather but sews like fabric. Weaving kraft-tex into beautifully textured panels, you’ll learn advanced bag-making techniques: adding interior and exterior zippered pockets, a cargo pocket, adjustable straps with buckles and eyelets, purse feet, and a swivel hook. The perfect accessory for your backpack, the woven wristlet attaches to the bag, but you’ll love to carry it solo!
