1 Cordlock	Ruler/Tape Measure

Step 1: Measure your full pack top to bottom and side to side. Add 3 inches to both measurements so you have room for your rolled hems.

Step 2: Lay out fabric on a flat surface. Use the measurements from step 1 to mark and cut your fabric to size. Step 3: Once your fabric is cut hem each of the 4 corners by folding in 2 inches then rolling over and sewing along straight edge. Reference pictures below for help.

Step 4: Once all 4 corners are hemmed you will now do a rolled hem the whole way around the pack cover.

Step 5: All 4 of your corners/edges should look like the picture below now. Step 6: Last step is to run the shock cord around the perimeter of the pack cover and add your cord lock to the end.
