Members dirkba Posted May 4, 2015 Members Report Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Hi Guys, I have tried my hand at this before, but now I need assistance! Anyone out there that has a pattern for one of the following styles: 1.Tie down 2. Base to base zipper Or explain to me the way to cut the leather to achieve the outcome I wish to persue. Thanks - I know there are experts at this! Edited May 4, 2015 by dirkba Quote

Members isaac Posted May 8, 2015 Members Report Posted May 8, 2015 I am looking for the same idea as the tie down bag.Been folding bits of paper to get ideas.Have you another view,best to see the underside. Quote
Members ShannonW Posted May 10, 2015 Members Report Posted May 10, 2015 Not a pattern, but how you would create that, is to take your two rectangles of leather (or one large rectangle and omit the bottom stitch), stitch the bottom and two sides and attached your zipper to the two top edges. Create the square bottom of the bag by cutting rectangles and then stitching the two sides together to create the box. On the upper edge, don't do this. Flip the bag to the outside and you will have your tie down section because that triangle would have been your rectangle if you wanted to box it.. You see this done a lot in dopp kits but I've never seen on in a duffle. Looks great! Quote
Thor Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Not exactly what you're looking for but should give you the idea http://www.designeralleyfabrics.com/sewing-pattern-duffle-bag-pattern-gym-bag-pattern-green-pepper-patterns-gp-551/ Quote
Members DS STRAPS Posted May 31, 2015 Members Report Posted May 31, 2015 I would say by looking at it use a large box and use a gift wrap method to achieve the look of the first picture, just my 2 sense Quote https://www.facebook.com/dswatchstraps
Members dirkba Posted June 2, 2015 Author Members Report Posted June 2, 2015 Hi, Isaac - I don't have any other view - sorry. ShannonW - thanks for the reply, but I was lost in the second par. Being a pictures person it might help if you could perhaps send me a sketch. Thor - I have made a bag similar to the idea you sent (see pic), but it seems for a tie down the pattern needs to be cut specifically to allow for the tie down. Quote
Members isaac Posted June 3, 2015 Members Report Posted June 3, 2015 Hi. I found a almost exact bag in Woolworths East London RSA. Have pics and dim's. I will try to post from here. Am out of the country now. Intend making one when I get back. Cheers. Quote
