CC's Bag.... Start to FINISH |
CC' s bag is a large bag at 13" X 11" with a 3.5" panel on each side. Double stitching is a must! The back pocket is 9" wide and 10" in length. On the left side of the back pocket, that rough cut "flap" you see is actually another pocket for pens, sunglasses, etc. Straps are made of one leather piece, 66" long, and 2" wide. The middle piece of the strap is 7" long without braiding, for comfort. The straps are 37" from knot to knot over the top. As you can see, this bag will accommodate a stack of magazines and papers 6" high! As I told CC, she can even carry bricks in it, if she so desires! |

Gotta have straps!!! Daughter-in-law Heather helps measure things out... |
Add a little Elk bellyhide in strategic spots so the bag holds it shape... and then onto the front flap... |
