Okay, I’m done with the bag. I’m pretty happy with the basic idea of it though it is completely feature-less for now. I just realised how hard it is to just get the basic shape of the bag, let alone adding pockets and stuff.. This bag only has a main compartment, 2 medium pockets and one large one behind those 2. The velcro I put at the sides as an afterthought, but it works quite well. Except for the fact the stitching might tear cos its like.. one loose item sticking out. Also, material-wise its silly cos you have to add two things instead of just sewing the velcro to the cover, thus saving you a little cloth and having to sew less. There are less lines of weakness in the design too.

Looking at the bag, its just too ghetto to carry out for everyday use. But that said, its just the test test. I used a piece of banner I had from last time (BFC labour day outing groundsheet) instead of waiting on they vinyl cos I thought it’ll be better to just get the main idea first before squandering nice new vinyl on it. I’l use it the next time I go outfield during ICT. I’m serious.. haha.. think messenger bags are quite shiok for medium items if in SBO attire. I mean.. last time I had to fight with the stupid sec comm bag all the time. So tiny and carry so many things and so hard to take stuff out. If i wanted to take something out, i had to take EVERYTHING out. SAF should consider using messenger bags. haha..
