carr52 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 Well it was going to be a one piece when it started but I decided to add a pocket to the front. I'm glad I did. I like the pocket. I still need to make a shoulder strap. Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayban Report post Posted February 27, 2009 That looks great. I see stitching on the front pocket, but is the main compartment held together by just the leather lacing? If so, that's an In-Jean-Yes design!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UKRay Report post Posted February 27, 2009 That looks superb, Tom! I do like the way the straps lace through the flap. Ray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carr52 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 Yep, it's all held together by the latigo lace on the sides. The only stitching is on the front pocket. I wanted the bag to be a one piece design and it was till I added the pocket. tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carr52 Report post Posted February 28, 2009 Thanks you for the compliments guys. I thought I'd finally do the one project that I've been wanting to do for a year. A year ago I wanted to make myself a bag to carry when I went out with my metal detector. Well a year later I almost have it done. Thanks for all your help in my new hobby. I've learned more here at leatherworker then I could ever say thanks for. Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carr52 Report post Posted March 3, 2009 I liked the design so much I decided to make a laptop bag for my new macbook. Plus I cut the slots for the small straps on the macbook bag and after seeing how they looked in the picture I did the same on the Indy bag. Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tashabear Report post Posted March 3, 2009 I LOVE THAT. Can I steal the idea to make a purse for myself? Can I, huh? Please, mister, pleeeeeeeease? (If you say yes, I'll shut up. See? I even make it worth your while. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobHall Report post Posted March 3, 2009 Great job! Yet another idea to add to my super-long list of things to make. And to think... all this time I've been carrying my laptop around in a tacky old backpack... :-) Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carr52 Report post Posted March 3, 2009 My scanner is on the out at the moment But I'll try and figure out a way to post some kind of diagram. I'm not real swift with computers but I'll do my best. Thank you for the compliments everyone. Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carr52 Report post Posted March 3, 2009 Just got back from the computer store with my new printer/copier/scanner thing. Now all I have to do is figure out how to make it work. When I get it all hooked up I'll try and do a layout of the bag. and post it. Tom I liked the design so much I decided to make a laptop bag for my new macbook. Plus I cut the slots for the small straps on the macbook bag and after seeing how they looked in the picture I did the same on the Indy bag. Tom I just noticed the holes for the straps on the small pocket could be a little bit lower. Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carr52 Report post Posted March 11, 2009 Well I think I have something that might be usable. Let me know if this will work. The pocket and hole templates are actual size. Oh yeah, I stitched the pocket straps on when I did the flap.
