Members Stetson912 Posted August 19, 2019 Members Report 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

Hey plink! Long time. Thanks. In Hindsight I should have finished those edges by the zipper. DOH! Quote
Members Smartee Posted August 19, 2019 Members Report Posted August 19, 2019 Nice! I'm sure he'll love it! Quote
Members plinkercases Posted August 19, 2019 Members Report Posted August 19, 2019 What dimensions was your pattern? And what zipper length? The proportions came out well. Quote

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

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. YinTx Quote
