I just spent hours online today looking at bag after bag after bag, looking at interior dimensions, partitions. Then I spent hours at any shop in town that might sell a bag of any sort, and absolutely nothing, and almost nothing that holds what I want how I want.

I have never sewn, except one pillow in 8th grade home economics, 35 years ago, but my fathers wife is a very good amateur seamstress. I’m pretty sure I could sketch up more-or-less, and let her figure the more detailed stuff.

For those that have I’m wondering if a homemade bag is disappointing because it doesn’t have the level of finish of a commercial bag? And did you find the process worth it, or did you poure a hundred hours into and and decide it’s nice, but never again?
