Silver Case

Over the weekend I finished up my second messenger bag.

New features?

• Inside I sewed a waterproofed, sealable pocket that is large enough to hold an A3-size document.
• I added an internal, elastic keychain for my bike lock.
• Did some experimental logo work with my Print Gocco. Didn’t turn out great.

Materials?

• Used this hard canvas-like stuff called ‘Ticking’. It’s the same material I made my bespoke railroad engineer hat from.

• For the strap I used the belt from a construction worker’s safety harness. It’s really strong and supple, and I love the crude metal buckle and “PROLOCK” label sewn on.

The only thing left to do is to assemble My Adafruit Industries MiniPOV3 LED micro-controller kit so that I can illuminate my bag with a series of LEDs. The kit just arrived today.
