Members FDC Posted July 12 Members Report Posted July 12 After finishing a Singer post bed restoration I wanted to make a Dopp kit bag. I bumbled around on-line and took ideas from a few places but took the time to make my own pattern. First attempt never saw the light of day, second attempt suggested a partially glued in lining instead of floating fabric. So this one has a marine vinyl interior to make cleaning up my exploded toothpaste/shampoo/ shaving cream mishaps easier. Naturally I sewed the loop in upside down with the raw edge up...4.0 required! Quote
Members Chux Posted July 12 Members Report Posted July 12 I've taken a shot at dopp bags a couple of times but they never come out worth a damn especially if I try to do the lining. Wish mine came out half that good...I should also mention that mine are hand sewn so maybe that's a reason too, idk... Quote
Members DieselTech Posted July 13 Members Report Posted July 13 Nice work. Looks great to me. What choice of leather did you use? Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted July 14 CFM Report Posted July 14 Really nice work. Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

The vinyl lining gives it some body when the bag is done. Quote
