They look great, it's good you can buy all the hooks and stuff these days.

What a great project @Bill . Beautifully done  <3

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

The big bags are being cancelled. Hooks and stuff have come to just over £55. Ridiculous.  :(

Wow @Bill, that's a horrific price and such a shame as you were doing an excellent job. Is there no chance you could try an alternative fastener, perhaps like strap and buckles?

It's on my mind @Surest1tch
 If I figure it out or someone else tells me the answer I'll start them again. I was hoping to do a full set of bags for the bike, all matching, all memade.
Working on a handlebar bag atm. Again.

Sorry I can't offer any suggestions, but I gotta say, those bags do look pretty amazing. I'm sure you'll figure something out, keep up the good work

I would look out for charity shop stuff that you could scavenge.

@Bill What brand are your hooks?  How about looking for old tatty panniers on ebay to re-use hooks off them?
