How I make shoulder straps – videos, patterns and instructions

[Lester Moore]

This tutorial shows how I make and attach the S-curved, contoured shoulder straps for the Talaria ultralight backpack. The tutorial includes five YouTube videos showing each step of the process, a printable PDF file with all the sewing templates and detailed text instructions for attaching the straps to the backpack. There’s also a full list of materials and an angle template. Here’s the free tutorial link:

There are probably faster and more efficient ways to make shoulder straps, but these are comfortable, versatile and appear to fit most people pretty well. If there’s interest, I may make a similar tutorial covering the entire Talaria backpack.

These all look great! A tremendous resource for those getting started! I watched one of the videos and thought it was well put together, nice and slow so you can easily understand the steps, and detailed enough to see what is going on.
