Notes:
This “Casper” bag is the product of some hard research and a bit of practicing making other bags. Although this bag is truly featureless (no pcokets or anything like that), it is a real sign of progress and hope for me.

“Casper” is a turning point in my bag design and production. Even if I did break my sewing machine finishing it. (Not to self: get machine fixed.)

Thing that make this bag special:

  • Recycled Military Rubber-ish liner (with printed description of what it held previously)
  • Metallic silver padded shoulder (material from an old food delivery bag)
  • Main strap buckle (for quick release)
  • Sternum strap (for stabilizing)
  • Overstrap on should pad (for clipping phone, bottle, walkies, etc.)

Things to take into consideration for “Casper’s” soon-to-be born brother:

  • Pocketing
  • Strap attachment at begging of main stitching
  • Velcro attachment before main stitching
  • Trimming during main stitching
  • Designed dimensions

Until then I am a super happy camper.

Notes:
This bag is not yet completed. I didn’t have the correct web strapping handy, so it will have to wait until tomorrow. The features on this bag definatley surpass any of my previous creations. And although some of the bag I am not happy with, it is a step onto a whole new realm. More to come when I am completed with it.
