Burning some oil tonight working on a new bike bag. 

Mostly been relearning my sewing machine and tearing out a strong majority of stitches I’ve run…

BUT it’s starting to come together!!! 

Started with some individual reinforced sides this evening, added rivets for bottle cage bosses and starting connecting panels with lengths of webbing for cord attachment to the main triangle of the frame.  

Tiny bit nervous about being able to  flip it, right side out, through one of the zipper holes, but that’s a future me problem 😆

I’m using a simple Singer Heavy Duty, broken down a bit for more clearance. 

That’s the plan. The reinforced sides are going to make it tricky. I figure I only have to do it once 😅
