Something big from something little

[RockyAussie]

Done a few patchwork bags lately and thought I'd share a little of the stages of making with you all. Might help give you some ideas what to do with those bags of scrap you been wondering what to do with. I will post more pictures over the next few days showing one of the bags as it progresses along. If you check my instagram there is a little video footage of the making as well. https://www.instagram.com/p/BgDdzHLnzct/?taken-by=wildharryaustralia

Note there a 5 I think little videos in the one post and you may have to click the picture as it gets to each part to make it play.

To start with here are a few pics that show what the later making pictures will be about.

The first 3 pics are the type of bag construction we have just started to make a few of.

The next few pictures are the new diagonal style we have just developed and that is what the following making pics will be looking at.

That's all it for tonight.

Brian, those bags look fantastic!  What are the metal rods you use to attach the straps to the bags?

That multi-colored one is one rockin' bag!

Love the design, both ascetically and as a smart way to not waste material. As alpha2 says, colored bag is rockin'. With the multi-colors and the diagonal layout, attention to alignment is critical. The symmetry of the diamonds as they wrap the edges and the way the lines are symmetrical spaced to the edges really gives it a well crafted feeling.

Hey Gary, we have quite a large variety of them that we generally get in from Japan from a wholesaler. They come from different places with all sorts of names but over your side, Ohio Travel bag call them handle loops if that helps. I would get a copy of their online catalogue as they have a large range of stuff and not bad looking quality.
