Step 3: Cutting Fabric for Shoulders Pads and Low Back Pads

I used an old jean but any resistant fabric is ne for the shoulder pads. I cut 30cm of length and the jeans have
15cm of width.

For the low back pad the fabric has to be resistant because support most of all bike's weight.I cut 40cmx70cm of
fabric.

For more comfort I used sponge to ll the pads. Depending of the sponge thickness cut the necessary to ll the
pads (low back pads and shoulders pads). You don't need measures just keep in mind that you have to be able to
close the pad.

Step 5: Cutting Straps

To make the backpack we need straps. I used 5cm strap to hip and 2.5cm to shoulder.

For the 5cm strap I cut:

-1x20cm

-1x40cm

For the 2.5cm straps I cut:

-2x40cm

-2x30cm

Step 6: Sew Straps, Fabric and Brooches

Take the ll and put it inside of the pads, then sew the fabric and the straps like in the pictures (It's not my best
work lol). Leave an opening in the hip pad.
