New bag day!
Made from xpac fabric so it will be lighter & more waterproof than my purple bag (which I can now repair – the side panels were not joined properly at the top and the coroplast stiffeners I put into the thing are sliding upwards and ripping the seams) and tapered to clear the kit bike’s handlebars. Maybe 8 hours of work so far (I still have to sew a liner, put in some grommets, rivet in some hooks for the lid closure, and handstitch the tape on the box corners) and $25 in materials, so – modulo the spasms of “WHY AM I DOING THIS???” – I could theoretically sell copies and clear minimum wage before taxes.
