  • managed to find some bright orange tarpaulin at the local market for £3 a meter (only 1m wide tho)
    1.5x1m seems to weigh about 1kg so seems reasonably tough...

    I think anyone who hasnt made a bag completely underestimates the amount of work involved in making one. What is in theory a simple pattern becomes vastly more complex when you start having to add pockets/ webbing/ padding/ straps etc etc along with having to seal seams, hem and bind the edges...

    Reckon that I have already spent 24hrs on this bag and its only half done....

    obv I aint a pro and am therefore slow - but if you are custom making bags then you cant assembly line alot of the work anyway so its still gotta be pretty slow going
