So I’ve had a fair bit of time on my hands as of late and having been inspired by a few mates, I’ve made an attempt at making a few bags. I’ve literally never sewed before, the only experience I have was when my granny showed me how to use a machine when I was about 6. But all processes need to start somewhere and I’m a tactile learner so what could go wrong.
First thing I could think to make was a musette because of the sheer amount I use the one I have when it’s tucked away in one of my pockets.
So apart came my old musette to use as a pattern. I bought some 1000d cordura because I’ve got a few bags made of the stuff n it’s been pretty solid for me so far. Pretty happy with how it came out considering I pretty much guessed at how to construct it. Wish I’d stitched the strap on at a bit of an angle towards the top of the bag to fit my form better but that’s all things that can be changed next time. Another addition next time after doing a bit of post ride shopping would be an under arm strap to help stabilise it and obviously a closure system of some sort. This was super bare bones.
