There are instructions on how to make it a G-tube Feed Pack, for those that need a G-tube Feed Pack, and instructions on how to make it a Hydration Pack, for those who want to stay hydrated during outings such as cycling and backpacking, or at events such as festivals!

The Copper Pack Pattern is drafted for use with domestic sewing machines. I have a Pfaff Quilt Expressions 710 and Pfaff Quilt Expression 3.5. I try to make things that don’t need an industrial machine, even though I have an industrial Juki-DDL8100 eH/x. The thickest layers sewn through when making the Copper Pack depends on the materials used. Test your machine with scraps of different materials to see what it can do! Please do not post full pictures of the pattern pieces on social media. There are detailed instructions for every technique, along with “TIPS” and plenty of photos.
