Dr's Bag - Who's Up For The Challenge

Recommended Posts

I recently had to do some minor repairs to this bag and thought it reminded me of something I saw on the internet.

It seems to represent a Doctor's bag and because of the wear and tear I think it may be quite old (vintage).

I am no pattern maker so I would like to challenge those that CAN and KNOW how, to supply this topic with a pattern made from the pictures I took.

The rough measurements to help you are: 350 x 260 x 170 mm (the fold on the side is about 160mm from the bottom)

The biggest challenge may be to find suitable clasp or opener for this pattern. It would help us all if the pattern maker would take this in account when coming up with the pattern and assembly steps.

Cheers

Dirk

I do patterns and there are a great many Dr's bags to choose from . The brass parts can be made and there are some suppliers that are carrying them including Ohio travel bag . I bought a Dr's bag some time ago with the intention of making a pattern .It was not expensive so taking it apart will be no big deal .I suggest that you look on face book for "Herz" they are in my opinion some of the finest bag makers around,saying they are the best leaves a lot of others out and thats not fair . I do promise that the time you spend looking will be well worth your while .post-21599-0-63525400-1402615328_thumb.jpost-21599-0-96742600-1402615344_thumb.j These pictures are NOT!!!! my work They are pictures I admired and saved for inspiration You can see the huge amount of possibilities.
