Okay here you go.

The design is for a 15"x12" Messenger Bag. I used parts from my other bag (dee's buckle straps, handles, billets, etc.) to fill in.

The gussets are based upon you going to Home Depot and buying a length of 1x4 which has the actual measurements of 3-1/2"x3/4"

You'll need to cut 2 of those 12" long each and round off 1" corners on one end of each for the bottom of the gusset.

You'll also need som decorative nails. I placed the holes 2" apart for the sides of the bags but 1 in the middle of each curve and 2 on the bottom on each side so the bag will stand up.

The print size is 42"x30"

have fun

It occurred to me that I can add to this pattern so that those who wish can make it out of all leather. So I added a leather gusset with gouge lines shown 1/4" and showed the placement of the dee shield for the shoulder strap

I made a small belt bag using wooden ends to use with black powder musket rounds. I used glue and upholstery nails plus a gusset to keep water out on flap with a belt strap and Sam Browne button . Looks neat like the bag here. I thought I was cheating by ot using all leather like the original item. Live and learn I guess. Works for me so it's good .thanks Gary

Thanks , you just inspired me to make a version of this bag. I have some exotic lace wood , the grain in this wood is Absolutely gorgeous, it's like fish scales look or a snake skin .. Haven't been able to sell a large quantity that I had bought and set aside to make furniture in my retirement years. But life changes my plans , now I'm pretty much stuck in a wheelchair. So ill do the things I can . Thanks
