I get the Studio 7t7 bag makers box and last months box included a brown crocodile faux leather with tartan zipper tape and webbing and some gorgeous brass zips. I was trying to think what I could make when Ruan (The Yorkshire Sew Girl) when unboxing her box mentioned that it would make a nice bag for a man. Aha! Perfect, I haven't had the opportunity to make a bag for my dad yet so I am making the 'Country Cow Designs' Travel Light Duffel Bag countrycowdesigns.com/product/travel-light-20 and matching 'Country Cow Designs' Densa Dopp Kit pouches for toiletries etc countrycowdesigns.com/product/densa-42 pictures of the examples below.
I have some additional faux leather as I didn't quite have enough of the crocodile but there is enough for the main panels and the box pouches so with the addition faux leather, I should end up with quite a nice set. I've sourced the additional zips, hardware, lining and foam from 'Country Cow Designs'.
So far, I have made the strap connectors and then skipped a few steps as I am waiting on the other zips to sew up the main zipper panel with foam and lining and the gusset with the foam ready to connect to the zipper panel.
