That's so clever! What did you use for the lining?

Yes it's just a standard domestic machine. Taking it slowly for the thick bits and planning the order of operations. -

Polyester fleece, with a ripstop collar where the drawstring is. -

So great to custom-make your own bags like that. I'm confident with small cotton woven bags but haven't found that sort of heavy-duty fabric for outdoor use. I'll keep a lookout.

I bought it online because none of the fabric shops here stock it. Buying online is always a bit of a gamble.

Thanks for letting me know that. I think I have a place that sells some of the fabrics. As you say, it's a gamble to buy online and for me, it's a gamble to sew anything that is completely new to me. In the meantime, I have no shortage of projects to complete and commence. Way back during its early days, Our #MountainEquipmentCoop sold fabrics for outdoor activities and my roommate sewed all her own gear. I'll keep my eyes and ears open.

Since buying that stuff off aliexpress I've since found this place, that I'm definitely going to try for the next lot.

There's a UK version, but no US version it seems.

That spot looks fabulous!! When I lived in Asia, I could easily buy PVC, fabric, and buckles for this sort of item since I lived close to "Awning Street", where everything was sold wholesale. They'd happily sell me a 1/2 metre of whatever. Here, everything seems to be factory-made and not available for general use. -

I love those kind of markets! I remember the big tech market in Singapore when I lived there, you could get anything.
