All Hail Scotland

One-thousand denier Cordura nylon & Top Gun poly, 19x12, 6x13 (bottom)
Here's a custom bag for a friend o' mine. Turned out super-sweet, me thinks.
Special features: outside iPod pocket, right-shouldered, extra pen pockets inside, extended flap, Cordura boot.

Yee. I don't think that photo turned out so well...but am I gonna re-shoot it? No.

I don't like sewing these small pockets on the outside of the bag...but I'll do it. I was surprised how well this turned out. That binding tape is amazing. Sharp.

This is what we in the bidness call the Quick Access Drug Pocket...for all those times when your fix just can't wait.

Compute, Compute: Laptop Bag

Custom laptop bag: 18x13, 16x6 (bottom)
Super sweet. This bag really looks like a BagJack because of the squarer shape--only better. Ah! No, BagJacks are gorgeous...I don't know if I'm at that level yet. Ha.


Removable laptop sleeve. I was going to make it permanently attached but I couldn't figure out a good way to do that...so I used Velcro--the quick fix. Ha. No...I think it turned out a lot cleaner than if I'd sewn it to the liner. In the future, I don't know if I'll even use Velcro, as there's not a whole lot of room for the sleeve to move around...we'll see...

Small Shoulder Bag

Na na-na, na na-na. Cordura y Sunbrella. 15x12, 13x 4 (bottom)
Yeah, I changed up the design a little bit. Now the liner and shell are each made of one piece of fabric.



Oh Man! That Looks Like a Purse!

Here's a little bag I made for my friend Jessie. 12x9, I think. It's the missing link between the hip pack and the small messenger bag. Pretty cute.

Corner detail.

Small Argyle Courier: SAC

Cordura & Sunbrella 15x12, 13x4 (bottom)
This bag is at Maude Vintage, downtown CoMo. And SOLD! Woo.


Now you have a place to stick your cross strap when you're not using it. I thought about attaching to the adjacent side...but I think that configuration would be more prone to bike-seat and door-knob snags. Yee.I put another layer on the the shoulder pad. This makes it a bit stronger and cleaner lookin'. Though it's no longer radio-friendly. But, I can always put a piece of webbing on it...

Shoulder Bag, Dude.

1000d Cordura e Sunbrella 15x12x4
Simple shoulder bag. Low-profile shoulder strap. I lowered the the buckles on the flap down to the edge like they are on the larger bags...that's the only change. Good times.
Ha.
