Laptop bag pattern

[mariuspirvu]

Hello! This is my latest work for which you can get the pattern here.

Wow! Love the functional, yet unique design! Love the contrasting stitching! Your stitching is very nice and straight and even.

Beautifully done!

One question: where is the shoulder strap? You have D-rings for it on the bag, but don't show it in the photos.

Would like to see it!

Thank you! The shoulder strap is optional and it is not included in the pattern. The bag I made for myself and I don't carry it on my shoulder as the laptop is too heavy and I find it uncomfortable.

So it is next time & I am looking at this pattern, I was wondering how the closing system has held up? It could just be me but from what I see it’s just the straps pushed through loops? Which I would of thought would not have any strength?

was thinking a adding a Sam brown stud to the Center strap

but Am I  missing something?

Also what size laptop does it hold?

 

thanks

These form of closures can be quite successful but if you want to go a step further you can do as I have done on some jobs previously add in a metal strip into the leather loop as shown below. Not the same but is a similar idea. This is just a prototype one I never progressed on with.

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous.

Thanks @Tugadude I wish I could have done it up in real croc but the customer wanted something different in the end. She didn't want any visible hardware originally and then paid a heap to have some hardware made which I also designed and had made in Japan. This is the end result croc version after another failed one in between.

 

This is the other failed prototype below

One man's failure is another man's treasure.  You are a very generous artisan, unafraid to educate folks on how things are put together.  You truly go the extra mile in order to help and it is much appreciated!
