Canadians have government medical coverage too. The most expensive part of my cancer treatment was the parking at the hospital. I even caught a break on that, as they made the parking free during the COVID pandemic! Prescriptions were covered too, as I'm a senior, though the pharmacy charges a small dispensing fee.

spring flowers and good food

Today is eclipse day, and we're supposed to get 99% coverage of the sun. Yeah - woke up to a totally overcast sky, and can't even tell where the sun is... [grumble!] Ah, well, guess that would qualify as a first world problem to most people! And no, I have no plans to drive anywhere to get a better view of it. According to the weather map, that would mean either driving south of the border, or almost as far east as Quebec! Edit: Welcome back, Chuck! Glad you are doing well! -
Mablung, planning to use a single piece with side gussets only.
-
Okay, good info, thanks! Yes, I do want the sides to collapse a bit. I will have a piece of leather at the top that folds over between the handles, and hooks to a latch to keep the bag closed. And I am also going to make the gussets slightly wider at the top than the bottom, so they will need to flex in when the bag isn't full.
-
Are gussets usually made from a slightly thinner leather than the rest of the bag, so they will flex more easily?

Very cool, Fred!

Glad you are well, and enjoying life! You had us worried!
-
Good catch, Frodo! Now see if you can get some salad (pond weeds) to go with it!

If you watch the video, you'll see the power on the ship keeps going out, then coming back on. With the power out, it was impossible to steer the boat. -
Yes, please let us know! I'm surprised it's salvageable - usually something like that is so contaminated with rat pee and poop that no one wants to save it!

Making my first bag without a pattern
Sheilajeanne replied to DavidR1990's topic in How Do I Do That?
Toxo, reread the post, and that will clarify this is a bag made by Jean Luc Parisot. He wants to make it for himself, but doesn't have a pattern that will show him how to attach the straps. I've had bags like this with drawstring tops and I agree with what SUP said. It's not the easiest design to use. As a matter of fact, I cringe when I remember one of these bags. The drawstring came open when I picked the bag up and a gallon jar of liquid honey went crashing to the garage floor... What a horrible mess that was to clean up! Anyway, it IS a very pretty bag, and if you really are determined to reproduce it, now you know who to contact. -
Awww that's cool, Frodo! Always nice to see a happy customer!
