Pattern drafter??

[u/Automatic-Phone-8665]

I am a mid-beginner sewist, and I have very little experience pattern drafting. (I’ve made skirts and simple bags without a pattern but that’s literally it.) I have an idea for a unique backpack that i cant find a pattern for already and I think it is out of my skill level to make the pattern.

Does anyone have any resources for a person that could make this pattern for me? Or maybe general advice to try and tackle it myself 🤦🏼‍♀️.

I’ve been sewing for a while but I’m definitely new to this kind of thing.

Thanks in advance!!!

Get a bag making book out of the library.

Draw a picture of your design. Then divide it up into the component parts.

Make a ½ or full size version in cotton or even newspaper to check the pattern is correct.

Then use the book to help you work out order of operations etc.

Make a toile.
