Just about done, or the tale of the striped bag.
Some time last week I decided I had gotten tired of looking at the scraps of fabric floating around my room so I started on the construction of yet another another messenger bag. Plus I wanted to address several issues I ran into while constructing my last bag. I cut a few corners due to the size of the bag. And since I know what I am capable of I am unhappy with just settling. So once this one is done I may just give my smaller red and white bag to someone. The only bitch part is the fact it has a much nicer set of nice buckles on it.

The only thing left to do to the bag is attach the flap to the main body, but before I could do so my machine started really acting up. It seems like the timing is off. So I don’t think I will be able to finish anything until I find time to take it apart and service it. Unfortunately I also need to pull apart two bicycles and do a few other small things on my list, so it may be a bit before I get around to it.

It is going to be a fair amount of time before I order some more cordura to make a new bag. But when I do I really want to try this pattern from Adam over at Zugster bags next.
