These are the 3rd incarnation of my bar bag. It was going well until it came to piecing the inner lining to the outer as there's an alloy box frame sandwiched between the layers. Sure as sugar can't stitch through that! So, what to do...
First thought was using steel poppers. More thought on that rendered it non workable.
Zip? Nah.
Velcro! That's simple and doable. So off I set.
Finished bag fits well around the frame but the lid is too tight to be easily usable in use on a bike tour and it doesn't cover the pocket tops like I planned. The lining is a bit too loose/baggy and the velcro fastening is both ugly as the pm and equally as flimsy. Fail.
What to do. Unpicking isn't an option. I'd need a microscope to find the stitches.
So, it's either a 4th attempt, ugh, or just give up and accept defeat, which would be annoying.
