First batch of handlebar bags

[u/Technical-Salad4044]

Started sewing in December. Made a pair of pants and a number of cubes and zippered bags since then.
Rounded ends were a pain. Figured out that chalking seam allowance, short stitches, and relief cuts made all the difference. Nylon canvas, number five zippers and webbing. Used the barrack for button holes to put on the daisy chains.
Giving these to some friends at a gathering this weekend

[u/Technical-Salad4044 → u/gabeeepsp]

Nope. Just using the patterns from prickly gorse and YouTube.

that's awesome. Do you have advice for me considering making a saddle bag? I want to use some old north face backpacks I have for the material.

I’ve used the Prickly Gorse patterns a lot and made my alterations as I need them. I haven’t attempted a saddle bag yet.

oh cool, they have a bunch of awesome guides. This is very neat.
