I can’t say enough about this pattern. The plans were very detailed and easy to follow. If you get stuck just watch the YouTube video as it is quite helpful.
The pattern comes with the knot work design as well, though I went a different direction. I’m fairly seasoned in leatherworking but this is a pretty good project for a person of moderate skill or even a beginner with the help of the plans and video. Been a fan of the channel for a few years now and I can’t say enough good things about Magnus and the work he does.

5/5 would definitely recommend

PS. Feel free to critique my tooling

I had recently purchased a fun pebble grain pull up side & was anxious to find a fun project to use it with. As soon as I ran across Magnus’ creative satchel pattern I knew it was an instant winner. Having only started my leather crafting in April of this year I was excited at the amount of saddle stitching practice this satchel would provide.
To date I have yet to work with a pattern or design from Magnus that isn’t user friendly, and that isn’t even mentioning the support available through the Patreon community or his YouTube presence.
With my first step into bag making I opted to tool the Yggdrasil artwork from the Shoulder Spaulder pattern (if you haven’t checked out the Dark Horse armor patterns yet, you absolutely should!).

Overall I am excited for my end result and more importantly for the shared creativity of this creator & his community as I practice my craft. I will be sporting my first bag, and it’s, character with pride.

Love this pattern. Great video instructions. I used deerlite leather for mine.

I love this pattern. Easy to follow instructions. Easy to customize.

Well thought out, and was easily modified to be a belt pouch. Even taking my time, it took just a little over an hour to make.

I totally loved this build! Easy to follow instructuons and simple to build. I really enjoy how it turned out.

Amazing pattern and easy to understand

Excellent pattern! Went together gr

The pattern was easy to follow and was a fun project!

What a quality item is exactly as I hoped the quality is exceptional. Everything from Dark Horse is better than advertised!

Excellent design and easily crafted!

I have yet to put these to leather... YET! This is a very well laid out pattern. I decided to cut all the pattern pieces out to do a test fit first. I am 6'6" so any pattern is going to need adjustments. So that is where I am on this project. Also working on my leather embossing since I never have done that before this endeavor.

Love this pattern. Easy to use and make. Makes great gifts for loot or D&D groups.

absolutely superb, i used my laser cutter as my hands aren't up to cutting out leather with precision these days. very clear pattern super detailed highly recommended

Great fit and so soft and cool will be purchasing more!
