This was by far my most complex sewing project to-date. The pack had to have fully-adjustable straps because I wasn't confident in my sewing or measuring accuracy. it had to have a removable frame so I could use it a couple different ways. It had a particular shape so it could be used as both a backpacking pack, or a small day pack. It had to be cost-efficient, water-resistant, and weight less than 2 pounds.
I did it, but it was nerve-wracking and challenging. There are things I will probably change about it in the future, but I'm satisfied with it for now.
