Costermonger

The Costermonger is the essential market tote designed as a backpack. Fill it up with wholesome goodies, leaving your hands free to tickle your dog. This is a simple satisfying sew that uses little fabric so ideal for using up some of your stash or making as a present.

You will need: 

8 x 9mm rivets or chicago screws

4 x 25mm/1″ metal sliders

2 x 25mm/1″ leather strap 89cm long (if you are buying our leather straps they come about 145cm long so you will need two of these)

If you’d like to use webbing instead you’ll need 1.7m’s (85cm for each strap). Seal the ends with a lighter, turn over 1cm, then 6cm.
