The leather backpack is made out of a strong leather for the outside and a second layer of thin leather to finish the inside of the bag. the inside pocket is made out of the same thin leather.

There are two zippers in this design. The long one is located at the top. you can reach the inside of the bag with this zipper. A second smaller zipper gives access to a little pocket located at the front side of the bag.

Cut out the leather.Make two slots for the zippers, just a little bigger than the metal of the zipper. The fabric of the zipper needs to be covered by the leather, but the zipper needs to be able to pass easily.

Glue the two layers of leather together, paste the zippers in place with double sided tape for leather (to hold them in place while stitching).

1. Start by stitching the longest zipper in place.

2. Tape the pocket in place, just the part that comes underneath the zipper (the pocket does not need to be folded yet). Sew the bottom side of the small zipper in place.

3. Tape the upper side of the pocket in place. Sew the upper part of the zipper and sew the sides of the zipper.

4. Finish the pocket by sewing the vertical lines. You can make multiple compartments if desired.

Sew the hems, the hems are at the outside of the bag.
