Making A Leather Backpack

In this video we will show you how to make a leather backpack. It is called Apache backpack as it is I get inspired by an Indian backpack I saw many years ago.

It is slim yet big enough to fit a lot of stuff and a laptop on top of it. It is very useful when riding a bike as it can be fastened on the chest with a removable strap.
