    This was the first full bag I made nearly two years ago now. Still going strong and I keep thinking of making another similar one, but realise I can still adapt this one as required.

    It was made to be quite plain on the front, no MOLLE etc. Outside there is a small zipped pocket and inside it has two zipped mesh pockets and one long open mesh pocket. Approx 15L

    Since making it I have added a small admin panel and a reversible front panel for it a bit later, MOLLE one side and plain the other with a zipped pocket.

    I have also recently been playing about with a shoulder bag design that will also connect to the front and unclip when required.

    That is a super clean looking bag, great job on it. My first bag (while it was a camping bag, not an EDC bag) didn't come out anywhere near that good.

    How did you design the pack? Did you just sketch it out and figure it out as you went or did you design it in software?

    Thanks. I made a cardboard template for the front and back shape and went from there following the great tutorial by Dannyx on here on making a pack.

    Great work! Once again, very clean - impressive attention to details. What machine did/are you using?
