Things You've Seen Before...

...But in different colors: The theme of most of my posts these days. Ha ha...
Anyway: hip packs...something like 9x5x2, in the way of inches. A nice brown, and a washed-out digital camouflage, for all your terroristic excursions and bugaboo perambulations. Hot.
The digicamo pack is lined with that truck-tarp stuff: obligatory messenger bag liner: eighteen-ounce polyester gushing with vinyl. Yum. I detest working with the stuff so I'm trying to use it up. Don't get me wrong: it's high-quality fabric. You could probably make a space suit outta it (and this particular brand is a German import, for all you Kraut-philes). I just don't like the feel of it. It's a tactile thing.

That other one is lined with Top Gun. Mathematical!

Start Up The Assembly Line! Chugga, Chugga...

I'm seeing how much faster it is to make a bunch of bags at once...as apposed to one at a time. Yeah.
[These are the front zipper pockets, if you were wondering]
Thanks, Flash, for being there when I need you the most...

Big Black Bag Bled Blue Blood

Not really...
Nylon/Poly 24x13, 15x9 (bottom)
Big, big bag. Well...I've seen bigger, but this is about as big as I go.
This is another right-shouldered bag. That's funny...two in a row...

Mmm, compression straps.

The shoulder pad is sewn to the bag. I haven't figured out if I like this or not. Next big bag, I think I'll just make an adjustable shoulder pad like on my smaller bags...


You can't see, but there are two pen holsters in there. Really? Yeah! two.

And this is what the pattern looks like. Now you can make one.
