CFM Frodo Posted October 5, 2023 CFM Report Posted October 5, 2023 I made a set of saddle bags but seemed to have misplaced the horse the bag itself is a Herman oak split back strap is 9oz veg tan flap and straps are 6oz veg tan saddle tan antique with neutral resolene as a resist. And tan kote finish front panel of the Bag is 2” smaller than the back giving the bag an “offset” look Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M

CFM Frodo Posted October 5, 2023 Author CFM Report Posted October 5, 2023 Thank you, That is the look I was trying to achieve. Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M
toxo Posted October 5, 2023 Report Posted October 5, 2023 Nice job Frodo. If I had a nitpick I think the look would be better and more rounded if the front panel went over the gusset. same holes just a different look. Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted October 5, 2023 CFM Report Posted October 5, 2023 beautiful work my friend!! looks like you'll be throwin them over your shoulder till you find that horse.

Thank you for the reply, the front panel does go over the gusset. At the top but not at the bottom, Is that what you meant? Cover the bottom also? Hmmmm, not a bad idea the outside panel is 2” smaller or 4” total narrower than the back panel maybe this picture will help. The first image you saw was kinda crappy Shows offset Shows flap over gusset Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M

Members Littlef Posted October 5, 2023 Members Report Posted October 5, 2023 Those are cool! I've been toying with the idea of replacing my black leather saddle bags on my motorcycle, and making some with a more western style in brown/tan with tooling. I seem to have way more ideas for projects, than I have free time to get to them. Quote Regards, Littlef Littlef - YouTube

The first image you saw was kinda crappy Shows offset Shows flap over gusset This first picture has the two parts together and sewn through like yours' This gives a dished effect. This pic shows the front panel over the top of the gusset and sewn through giving a more rounded look. Same pattern, same holes just a different look. Quote
Members Burkhardt Posted October 6, 2023 Members Report Posted October 6, 2023 Curious to know cuz I got a split myself, did the antique work on the other bag you were making? Quote
