These are Christmas presents for sisters and brother in law. They all need bags that are compact but spacious and won't look bad for a bit of rough treatment.
I used waxed cotton from a company in Birmingham (can't remember the name but they are in Sherlock Street), and bought it as seconds. Some of this is due to being over-waxed so once I cut my pieces, I sandwiched them between kitchen towel and applied a hot iron. This removed the excess wax and the end result was good.
The bags are fully lined; the flap over the capacious front pockets is a nice feature.
I've put some essential supplies into the bags, too.
