I can't see the new Apidura design online but the older one is made like I'm talking about. I guess it looks a bit neater but I found when you pack it you don't end up with a flat transition between zip and fabric. I also think you'll pull your stitches through the fabric when it's full of stuff because of the directions you are pulling in.
on a side note adding foam around the sides helps a lot to hold shape too.

Ah ok, we’ll that might be V2 adaption.
I’m not expecting them to be right first time.
The foam is something I’ve been looking into particularly for top tube bag and saddle bag. Also some form of plastic to create the shape. Think saddle bag is by far the hardest!!
Have you any pictures of the ones you made?

Seam stuff sounds like a good idea.
The zip is tricky in the sense you need to be thinking about facing fabric ,facing, facing zip but I found it easy enough to sew. Plus I figure looks neater, the apidura are made this way.
Or am I missing something? It’s all very new to me.
