Install A Divider In A Briefcase?

Recommended Posts

I've started work on a laptop bag, after being inspired by another guy on this board. I've cut all of my exterior panels and selected my tooling patterns. I've also purchased some nice pigskin for liing the interior. What I have in mind is to install at least one interior pocket and to install oen divider so that the back of the bag is a narrow compartment for a laptop computer and the front compartment suitable for accessories, like power cords, as well as papers, etc. Ihave cut a gusset about 2 1/2" wide for the back compartment. I cut a second piece a shade over 7" wide, figuring I could always narrow it later, for the front compartment. The outside panels of my bag are approximately 12" x 18" as I have 17" laptops.

I was planning on doing the panel edges with round or Mexican Basketweave, braiding, just because I think it will look nice. So, should I stitch three layers together in the middle (back compartment gusset, divider, front compartment gusset), or should I cut the divider panel smaller than the outside panels, use the wide gusset, and fold the wide gusset around the divier, stitiching it that way? Which would be better, stronger, or more professional looking?
