Doug C Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Posted March 1, 2008 Thanks, for the complements from everyone. I've been gone most of the day, so I have not had time to take any more pictures of the insides and handle but I will try to do that this weekend. The gussset is 2/3 oz vegtan, which I also used to line the inside with. I have one divider in the center that goes down to an inch and a half from the bottom. I'm not sure I'll do it that way on the next one. The gusset is not lined. I just drew up some plans on butcher paper. I'm sure most of you could too. The bag is 16" wide, 12" high, 7" flap, allow 3" for top. The gusset is 4" wide, but the cutting width is 5 1/2" to allow for 3/8" to sew on each side and 3/4" in the center to fold around the center divider. The carving patern I also drew up myself. I'm kind of new to drawing my own carving patterns. I learn something every time and see where I can make improvements. like they say, practice, practice, practice. Doug Quote
