koreric75 Report post Posted December 1, 2019 So I've been experimenting a little, with a round bag and rectangle w/ radius corners (1.75"radius), and have had a really difficult time getting the measurements to come out right. Does anyone have a good way to get it perty dern close on first go? These are felted wool with some 2/3oz veg tan, Palencia i think from Tandy. Overall I made it work, but had it bunch up at the last bit, and have had to unclip, and cut from the gusset usually. But it's easier that way than to add to it I think. Here's the calculator i used for the rectangle https://rechneronline.de/pi/rounded-rectangle.php And for the circle I used an excel calc that I found on utube.

YinTx Report post Posted December 1, 2019 It may have something to do with the thickness of the materials. Try adjusting your measurements for that and see what happens. YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YinTx Thanks YinTx, I've considered the thickness, but don't think it's calculated correctly as still had to remove material or end up with bunching towards the end.

battlemunky Report post Posted December 8, 2019 I got no help Sir but wanted to compliment you on the bags, those look great. Personally, I get a little scared when I use other than leather...things normally don't end well since I don't understand it as well as I do leather.

I may have been trying to add for seam allowance vs subtracting for it, that may be why I ended up with more gusset that circle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted December 9, 2019 I don't always get it right either. But have to agree with battlemunky , they are really well made . Off topic...I have a heap of 12 oz loom state left over from a restoration job, haven't quite worked out what to do with it, but these lovely bags inspire me . But the loom state is cream in colour ( it will dirty easily ) . Love to combine a leather design with loom state...somehow. HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
