Stetson912 Report post Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) I made this kit to send to my dad for his birthday as he travels a lot. I lined with a bandana and it is all hand stitched. Let me know your thoughts. Simple project but I'm pleased with it. Edited August 21, 2019 by Northmount fixed auto-correct Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

plinkercases Report post Posted August 19, 2019 What dimensions was your pattern? And what zipper length? The proportions came out well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! 1 hour ago, plinkercases said: What dimensions was your pattern? And what zipper length? The proportions came out well. I didn't make a pattern but I cut out a 16 x 18 inch rectangle. The 16" side is where I stitched the zipper to. Then i squished it flat and centered the zipper. Then cut a 2" tall and 2.5" long rectangle out of the corners.the 2.5" dimension runs parallel to the zipper/16" dimension. The handle is 8" long I think. And 2" wide and the tab on the back I made 1"wide and long enough to fold over for a loop. The initials patch is 3"x3" which worked out perfect. I'll have to measure it exactly but it's about 15" long and 6" wide there abouts. Unsure of height. Maybe 5"? Hope that makes sense Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huh first time I saw the photo, I thought they were contrast painted, and I liked it lol. Nice work, I like the tooled handle and the liner is a nice touch.
