Designing the Handlebar Bag...

It has been a long time since I last made an update....but that is just because nothing has been happening other than more sewing of the same panniers...

Today I finally designed the bag that will hang off my handlebars.
I admire the bags made by Gilles Berthoud so I used one as my model...

I made the rough shape of the bag out of cardboard.
That way I was able to figure out dimensions and see how it would look in position.  Since I was modeling mine after an existing bag, I took the dimensions of that bag and altered them to my liking.  Since the dimensions of the model were in metric, my measurements are also in millimeters...
It is a very rough diagram, but the first step is finished!
