johnggrg Report post Posted October 30, 2010 (edited) Would like some ideas for a bag to use for hunting. Either a belt bag or a satchel that has a strap long enough to go over the shoulder say from left side to right shoulder. Was thinking about one that can fit a thermos and a few other things in it. Any thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. John Edited October 30, 2010 by johnggrg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnggrg Report post Posted October 31, 2010 Ok I have a question. I have never made a bag before but really want to try and make one. My question is this. If I make the back piece and flap all one piece. How do I judge or measure for where the end of the flap is going to end up on the front of the bag? I want about 5 inches on the inside of the bag. So would I measure 1.the back + opening for inside + where I want it to lay on the front? That's what I am thinking but would like to ask some professionals to make sure. Also would one row of stitching be good enough? I know two rows of stitching look better and is stronger but there won't be that much weight in it. Please let me know. Thank you.

johnggrg Report post Posted November 1, 2010 Victi thanks for the reply. That bag is not big enough for what I had in mind but appreciate the info. I want one big enough to fit my thermos in laying down in the bottom. Which would need about 15 1/2 inches on the inside. Thanks again. John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
