battlemunky Report post Posted October 4, 2019 Is that the Dieselpunk Motoko1? Looks very similar if not. I just bought the packet of the 3 Motoko bags and have to make the computer bag for a friend's father-in-law. You executed that well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have yet to make the other two. Thanks for the kind words. I modified it a bit. I made a whiskey flask and eye glass holder out of moulded leather. On 10/4/2019 at 7:37 AM, kiwican said: Very nice.

Like the mod to the handle. I see you didn't go with the lozenge. If I were picky about the design, I don't like just one rivet on the strap which is holding the whole weight of the bag. (easily remedied) and the handle. Otherwise I love all three of the Motokos. Good job on the tote also, did you just glue the lining? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice job. Dieselpunks designs are relatively foolproof spud and he's a nice guy that always helps his fans when needed. He's got a great facebook page (and I hate facebook. won't go there for anything else). He's just issued a free pattern to his fans to celebrate 40,000 downloads. Two of my daughters wanted one. The lighter coloured one is not finished yet. These two bring my tally of projects to four. As you can see, more practice needed but they are usable. Note that on the darker one I put the front on the outside which gives a rounder design (but a nightmare to sew) with two JJ#2 needles and 1.2 thread going through a 1.5 hole). On the lighter one I put the front to the back which gives a different look and much easier to sew. Edited October 9, 2019 by toxo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did put together a kit in middle school decades ago. I've been reading and watching tons of tutorials. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
