{Limbo} Convertible backpack pattern
Limbo is an advanced level convertible backpack pattern.
A backpack is great, but a backpack that can be transformed at will is even better! With a clever switching of rings and lobster clasps, Limbo will easily turn into a backpack, a saddle bag or a crossbody bag. Of course the ways to transform Limbo are explained in the pattern instructions.
The adjustable strap will ensure a perfect length either worn as backpack straps or as a regular strap.
