  • I wanted to try padded walls which caused too much bunching up of fabric. And as a result saw me fighting a bloody battle with my machine and a resulting slightly off shape bag. Also first go at lace style strapping at the top (I'm practicing for Hulsroy's bag) and I think the loops need to be shorter and maybe one more on each side. It looks alright-ish on the outside... The inside binding is a hot mess...

    Keep It Simple Stupid. Etc...

  • Ah that's good to know. I was thinking about pockets for HDPE sheet (or thin cutting mats) with foam glued to it, so I could slide them in after sewing. Messy binding is better than no binding? I still need to find the patience to start using it on inside seams.

  • The padding was mostly an exploration in trying to work out why the fuck you'd need a frame bag to have padded walls(!?) I really can't think of a good reason for it - if you're using a frame bag it's because you wanna bounce around on bumpy stuff at some point right? If you're bouncing around on bumpy stuff, why would you put something delicate loose in a bag so it bounces around with everything else in said bag?

    I don't get it.

    And I blame capitalism making dickheads with money think they need their frame bags padded because well, yours isn't...

    Anyhow, won't be doing it again and have reinforced a strong opinion on the topic :)
