+* webbing, twill or grosgrain tape: 60 cm, 2.5 cm width; +* cord: 4 meters; +* 2 minibiners; +* sewing thread. + +For beginners I'd strongly recommend using a sturdy cotton fabric and +cotton tape, possibly matched with jute cord. + +For people who are confortable working with slippery materials (or are +ready to start working on those), a lightweight water repellent fabric +such a silnylon makes a pretty useful backpack; in this case nylon or +polyester webbing and paracord are a good match. + +Instructions +------------ + +.. tip:: + + If using coated, water repellent fabric, you want to minimize holes, + so use a longer stitch than usual (e.g. 3 mm) and avoid using pins as + much as possible, only using them in the sewing allowances. + + Do however backstitch at the start and end of all seams, for + stability. + + Binder clips are useful to keep things in place without making holes, + even if they can't do miracles on extra slippery fabric like + silnylon. + + +.. figure:: 01-webbing.jpg + :align: center + +Fold the fabric in half on the long edge to find the middle, and put the +webbing on the right side, centered on the fabric;
