Members JGray Posted October 13, 2015 Members Report Posted October 13, 2015 There are a few tweaks I want to make to the pattern, but it came out fairly close to how I imagined it. The smaller rear internal section is sized for a laptop, the front external pocket is sized for an iPad or other tablet. Removable/adjustable strap. Made out of 6-7oz veg-tan with roughly 5oz gussets. Figured I would test out a couple of the eco-flow waterstains from Tandy while I was at it. Quote Jerry Gray
Members Windrider30 Posted October 13, 2015 Members Report Posted October 13, 2015 On the back pocket what is the black thing? Really nice design by the way. Quote

Really nice design by the way. Thank you! The deal on the divider pocket is just a little 'pocket' for pens, laser pointers (anything with a clip that will fit, really). I left it open at the bottom and short enough to leave about an inch of pen exposed, to make it easier to push up if need be (and also so nothing falls in there and gets stuck). Quote Jerry Gray
Members MonicaJacobson Posted October 13, 2015 Members Report Posted October 13, 2015 Nice job on the design! I'm not a huge fan of those buckles, but that's my only quibble. Quote http://monicajacobson.com/ https://www.etsy.com/shop/TrimGoTrix?ref=si_shop
Members JGray Posted October 13, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 13, 2015 Thank you Rohn and Monica! To be honest, I'm not that thrilled with the buckles myself. I had it in my head this was just a test of a pattern I'd made, and they were what I had 3 of (don't remember what I had bought them for originally) so I just went with it. Next time I make one, I'll incorporate the little changes I want to make and make sure I have some different hardware on hand. Quote Jerry Gray
Members Tugadude Posted October 13, 2015 Members Report Posted October 13, 2015 Very nice. The edges on the radius of the pen holder looks awesome. That is not easy to do in my experience. Quote
Members DrmCa Posted October 13, 2015 Members Report Posted October 13, 2015 Very nice! I love everything, including the shape of the straps - you have great taste!

Members JGray Posted October 14, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 14, 2015 Thank you Tugadude and DrmCa! I'm sure there was much swearing/pleading as I worked my way around those curved lines with the end of a round knife. I wanted to put a little spin on the strap & front flap shapes, so in a rough sketch I tried giving everything cuts at the same angle. It looked promising enough on paper, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Quote Jerry Gray
Members nickortizzle1035 Posted October 20, 2015 Members Report Posted October 20, 2015 very nice. I have to make a laptop bag soon. I may have to use a little bit of inspiration from this. The only critique I would give, would be to change the closure system a little bit and tweak the carry handle Quote
