- The Mav Pack sewing pattern can be purchased from my website lindshandmade.com
It includes the written instructions with oodles of colored photos, printable pattern pieces, as well as additional files including FREE bonus SVGs for your homebased cutting machine and an A0 file for projector use or to have printed at a print shop.
I am sewing on my domestic Juki TL 2000qi for this entire bag using tex 45 thread. For you first attempt, I would highly suggest using lighter weight materials that have been interfaced with a woven interfacing so you can get a feel for the turning process.
-Fabric is "Birch in Black" by Libs Elliot from her collection "Beguiled" for Andover Fabrics.
-Ombre pastel thread is from Geekyhardware.com
-Ombre checkered seatbelt webbing is from Wonder Ground Fabrics
-Smooth black faux leather with suede like backing is from More Me Know
-Pressing mitt is from Wawak
-Mini iron is the Dritz Notions Mighty Travel Steam Iron in white from Amazon
-The water-based leather adhesive is Ecoweld from Tandy leather

59:00 Shoutout to my amazing testers this round!
“Pray for me” lol. I had to rewind to make sure I didn’t imagine that. It’s so fitting!
Beautiful bag. Looks a little intimidating but I think I can do it. BTW, little tip on the double sided tape. If you take you nail (or anything hard like the pen top) and run it really hard on the ends of the tape, it makes it much easier to pull apart.
I just bought the acrylic templates for all three sizes, I already had your pattern from the first week but after 5 bags......I was like I need the acrylics.......every young lady in my life will have a new personalized bag, thanks to your fun make of the Mav Pack.
Please do more tutorials. You are amazing. Best tutorial I've ever used. I love that you don't have background music while you are talking. You don't oversimplify but are clear and precise. I purchased the pattern and am now watching the tutorial a few times before I tackle my first Mav Pack. Thank you. I am looking forward to more tutorials from you
Your video is excellent I’m going to give it a try my only problem is my hand osteoarthritis is severe n may need to do at retreat to get help w turning etc Another excuse for retreat not that I need one
Terrific tutorial! The written PDF pattern is terrific but watching you tackle some of the trickier steps is always super helpful! And I loved seeing all the tester bags at the end!
I made the water bottle bag and I didn’t think I could, but bc of your detailed down to earth videos I feel confident I can make this. I’m gonna make me and my sons some bags. 💓🫶🏽
Thank you!! Thank you for being real! “Pray for me” I absolutely love it!! Now pray for me as I begin this project!!!
Hi. I have your pattern but my gusset with zipper and my main pieces do not match when I sewing on. The guesses is to big where did i go wrong.
What a super cute bag!!!! Best video ever. Love the part “pray for me” ha ha ha then the baby at the end makes my heart just melt and all the pics of those cutie patooties!!!!! Well done! I am wishing very hard for binding though!
Love the video, and so glad it is finished without binding. Finished bags, without binding, look more professional.
I love that you say “Pray for me”. ABSOLUTELY
I'm glad they are finally popular. I have always worn mine that way to keep it handy and hands free.
THAK YOU so much for no using binding!!! Pattern purchased. Anxious to start!!!
thank you for having the option of printed pattern we can buy versus the online pattern. Just got my pattern, sooooo excited to start it tomorrow.
Absolutely LOVE your method of making this! I am so happy not to do binding!!! For quite awhile I have been changing any pattern that has binding to this method for the backpacks I have been making ! So happy that you did too! I think that binding makes the bag so homemade and will avoid buying a pattern that has it or adapt it to this method! Thank you!
So excited to get started. Thank for this video.
I am excited to give this a try, I have always wanted to make a backpack and this is a great one!
Quick make & super cute! But what's cuter is ur son...adorable 🥰
Another great pattern Linds! And as always, your tutorials are invaluable!
