Woah. So busy lately. Tons of sewing commissions and in general life happenings.
my good friend catherine is moving back to LA, travelling via motorcycle cross country. www.mybikeignites.tumblr.com
she asked me to make her some saddle bags for her trip....so i met up with her a couple times to brainstorm and take moto measurements.
worked up a plan that made sense to both of us, and i got crackin. took four days to totally finish em, i also had two pairs of out of town visitors and other good distractions.
they came out really well, even though the math and planning involved in making them broke my brain. the bottom is one flush piece for strength, and for some reason making hidden seams on all sides of the bag just seemed so daunting.
first time using high end waterproof material too...terrain xpac is the jam! lightweight and waterproof up to 200psi. driving rain equates to 2 psi.
ride safe friend.
planning an etsy craft party at the end of the month, working on a top secret installation that will have a one night opening on the 5th of august, and preparing to take Egon to the dog neurologist to better diagnose his seizures. theres a lot going on.
oh! and i have a website now too! one more internet thing to keep up with, ugh!
