@Alfie
made another today primarily out of blagged materials. Quite pleased with it - ridiculously overbuilt, so it won't break. hopefully.
Found the buckle in a box at my workshop. I used because it's called a 'fixlock'. Hipster-tastic. shit photo.
You can see that I put the top halves of the straps underneath the bag, and mounted the female halves on the bottom as opposed to the front, meaning that when not full it can be scrunched up into a manageable package, rather than a flappy disaster.
plenty 'o' pockets. terrible but strong stitching. terrible but strong photo (?)
a view from the front when empty
I haven't put the under-arm retention strap thingy on, but when I do I will getcha some photos of the strap arrangement. It's pretty standard though.
This was made on a weedy little domestic machine, hence the sketchy stitching, but when I can drag my arse over the 5 miles to my dad's workshop, I can turn out some more professional looking beauties on the industrial singer. mmmm :)
