Here's a collection I made for a Maude Vintage fashion show. Five 22inchers. Yep. I think they turned out pretty well.

Shop That Shit

I don't know why it's taken me so long to make myself a shopping bag, but it has. Ha. 12x7x14 This color is gross...I don't know why I ever bought it. I was probably fabric crazed, or something...

Rex!

Here's my version of the increasingly popular chip-bag backpack. 15x17x7.

Cordura & Top Gun. I think it turned out pretty well.

Love the wedged bottom.

Small side pockets for a pump or bayonet or whatever.

Straps galore.

I'm likin' these shoulder straps okay. I've been using them on my own backpack for a while, and they're good riding straps. They're two inches wide, which is the classic Jansport/Eastpak width...but for a hiking bag, you'd probably want to go wider...unless you're tiny.

Double bottom.

Removable padded back/doc poc.

Ah! which way is up?

Almost done.From paper to fabric.

And here are the dimensions of the pattern. NOTE: This doesn't have the seam allowance added, so if you're gonna make it, take that into account. I use a three-quarters inch SA, but I think half-inch is pretty standard.

And the side view. The arrows are where I put my compression straps.

Jessie!

Postdiluvian 22incher This is the shiniest Cordura I've every seen...I'm starting to wonder if it's Cordura a'tall...I got it from Perfect Fit McDonald. Yep.

I forgot to take a closeup photo, but this bag has a cinch loop on the side for bottles or whatever you want to stick on the side of your bag. Pretty cool. Most bottles these days have some sort of loop on 'em, so you can just put a 'biner on the strap and hook 'er on. I think it's a pretty good minimalist system.
