barra Report post Posted September 23, 2009 It's easy to make your own pattern. Work out how long you want it X how deep X how wide. Cut out a pattern from heavy card or something like vinyl flooring scrap so you have a rectangle the size of your length X your depth (one side) X width (base) X depth again (other side. Then get something round of an appropriate circumference to round off your corners (coffee cup or beans can etc). Then you can work out your gusset allowing for your sewing allowance. Barra.

bruce johnson Report post Posted September 23, 2009 I do a lot of the style with the attached picture. These hold up well. The body is 6/7, lined with 3/4 usually. The gusset is 4/5 chap leather. The finished dimensions come out to be 6x6x11. The cutting pattern off the top of my head is 11x19. I think the handle is 1x15. I put feet on them to keep them up off the wet counters.
