Getting back into bagmaking, they're mostly ripoffs still but with so much being done it seems impossible to be original. First up is a matching set of bags for a friend, will be doing an Outer Shell drawcord bag, a half framebag and a Wizard Works Shazam / Dyed In The Wool XL Bar Bag (which is a pretty blatant Shazam rip-off for as far as I can see) combination with the addition of two dowels for more stability. All out of white X-pac.
Striving for better quality I've planned them out properly before getting to work instead of figuring things out after cutting the fabrics.
He's also been stress testing a bagel bag of mine, which is holding up perfectly except for the cheap zipper. Will only be using YKK going forward, ordered a bunch of cheap zippers for prototyping when I was using cheap fabrics but it's a waste of materials to use them when moving to the nicer fabrics. Will be replacing the zipper and I want rework it into something like a Hungry LCM.
