Sleeping Bag Camping Backpack
During a camping trip, I was noticing how people have to tie their sleeping bags onto their backpacks. I started to think about how a backpack is made of fabric and a sleeping bag is basically a large sheet of fabric. Therefore, I started to wonder what if our sleeping bag could be our backpack.

Exploring Existing Design
after exploring existing designs I put together a list of
Good Features
Final Two Prototypes

Final Sketch

Back
Attachment back support layers
Layer 1
Layer 2
Layer 3
I chose to go with this prototype because it provides a stronger attaching system compare to the first prototype that only has the one zipper as the support attachment
Materials
Patterns that are made through out the process
Since I am not working from an existing pattern, my making process is to take a piece of paper to wrap around my body to discover what is the best measurement and to make my own patterns.

Using my body measurement as a reference
Final Model
Assembeling Process
Final Thoughts
Some improvements are to:
-simplify the process of assembling to be more efficient.
-consider using color-coding to make it clearer which parts go to where.
-more thoughts and tests are needed to see what are the value of this new design.
Thank you:)
