And so it begins... Not very exciting yet but my latest lockdown project leaves the drawing board and starts it's journey towards being a reality. I use Duffel style travel bags a lot and for a while I've fancied making a nice canvas and leather one to co-ordinate with some of my other
luggage. ( I know, daft isn't it? ) One thing I didn't want to change about the design is the mesh pocket under the lid flap, just because it is so useful. What I can do though is over engineer it to within an inch of it's life and as this will be a component that is required early in the construction sequence, this is the first part of the build. All the critical seams will be hand stitched so this should keep me busy for a while.
Hopefully, by the time it is finished I might be able to travel somewhere with it. |
